actually, coat the bay interior with some stickum glue, like Goop.  Get all those tiny pieces at the bottom of the spares box and shake them over it.  Shake out the excess, wait until dry, and paint.

I like how you think!!!  All it needs is a weathering wash afterwards and no one will notice  ;)

Ignore the comment regarding these being the most likely colour schemes - it's pure fantasy.  More likely al will be like these latest Dutch F-35As:




Though of course don't let that stop you in your modelling of them in all sorts of schemes... ;)

OK, I've got a question, why is the Canadian F-35A getting different wheels.

http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RAAW72308

F-35A standard wheels.

http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RAAW72305

And where does this information come from

Beavers Robert.

The number one cause of landing and taxing accidents at RCAF bases is the "runway"beaver.

This sub-species of Castor canadensis landing gear collapsis crosses the runways and taxiways at the most inopportune times. The wheels and brakes are designed to sustain a direct impact with a 40 LB beaver.

Save a tree and an F-35 by eating more beaver. . .

News to me - I suspect the true reason is because someone thinks there are enough fools out there who will buy aftermarket bits...

Photoshopped F-35s to counter Iranian photoshopped missiles?  ;D

Reminds me of the wooden bomb dropped on the wooden airfield decoy!  ;D

Yes, quite a few in fact, and I think the Thunderbirds do for one. Others would be the Frecce Tricolore and the Patrouille de France as well.
