Ok, I collected two of the F-35B kits today. At first glance they appear well done. The external panel detailing is actually quite fine and nowhere near as extreme as the early photos indicated. Haven't done any dry fit ups just yet so I can't say how well the fitting will be. Weapons look a little crude to my eye, though that is hardly of major concern. I am disappointed there is no gunpod though I am sure there will be a resin one or similar released shortly. Decals look good and already provide some whiff (currently) options.
Now, as to the important question: what are my plans for this pair? Well one is definitely going to be RAN FAA...possibly in a high viz tail scheme. The other? Not sure, though I am toying with either Israeli or RNZAF or RAF ( though in green scheme) or even a UCAV...
