Gorgeous scheme on polished metal (note the reflection of the vertical tail markings on the underside of horizontal tails - that's *polished*).

Nice shot of an MH-60S.  It looks like the carrier has visitors as I see at least two Rafales present.

 :icon_meditation: Looking into a crystal ball, I see a Hasegawa re-pop of their 1/72 Phantom kit. Looking into a mirror, I see someone buying that.  :icon_beer:

Might actually try building it like that, taking off and landing gear retracting.

I must admit that the F-35's looks have really grown on me, IMHO it's much
better looking than the F-22. There's something about the latter's proportions
that has always looked off.

Your mileage may vary etc.

I find the F-35 has a pugnacious look.

The Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alta. already has an Avro Lancaster FM-159 bomber and a replica of a 12,000-lb. Tallboy earthquake bomb among its extensive Second World War historical collection. But the museum also had its sights set on a replica of the Grand Slam which is now a reality.
