YES!!!

Looks promising and of the three F-35 kits this is the only one that really catches my interest enough to maybe, just maybe pick up a quartet of the things.

The C seems to be a lot of people's favorite looks-wise. Great news!!  I am really tempted to build the A I have in the stash but I have tons of stuff already started.

I keep thinking of a "strike 'A'" with both the internal gun and the B/C external gunpod.

CyberModeler has uploaded some images showing the parts sprues for the Kitty Hawk 1:48th scale F-101A/F-101C Voodoo.  Interesting to see missile armament included for the F-101B Interceptor.

1/48 F-35C is now available.  What's also great is that finally they have included the external gun pod!  Lots of potential in that!

I might just be tempted in buying another 1/48 scale kit   ;)  (grand total of 1/48 kits in my stash would be  --- 12 [I think  :-\ ] )

Personally I am waiting for the 1/72 versions, not that I am likely to ever build them, its just the boxes are smaller and will take up less space in my stash  :-[
