welcome... welcome...

better discover late than never

Sharing my F-35A...quite happy with its quality although the bird is pretty small.

comrade aeroz... i think u haven't affixed the aim-120c amraams into the internal bay. it attaches to inner part of the internal bay

like so:



and you also haven't attached the external nose probe (neither have i as that requires some gluing).

small no doubt, but it's one of the better f35a models by hm. i'm looking forward to the f35b when it lands

Here two of my queen shelf WW2 plane which i treasure a lot. I was flying it yesterday while my friend took cool scale shots in the air. The P-51D Mustang and F4U Corsair. They are super scale models that flies and looks good on my office table. Have it for 4 years already. I did some paint touch up on aluminum like panels, weathering and paint on dummy engine to make overall plane looks realistic veteran like warbirds.

Really Nice HM F-35A,
the size is like F-16 but fat little, haha...

hahaha... not a sleek looking bird like the teen series, but at least it sure is much better looking than the bullfrog x-32

Ya, we lucky that Boeing lose the contract.
If they win, we now actually will have F-32 "fat swallow" for sure.

lol. anyway... only really looking forward to hm's tophatter but it'll only be out next year

Thanks for the picture. Haha, I've been figuring out why got extra 2 missiles (HM didn't provided any pictorial guide).

Yea, didn't noticed any hole to attach the probe. Scared I spoiled the paint during gluing process. That's why leave out the probe.

Just my opinion, the F-35 will definitely loose to in dog fight due to its aerodynamic & size. Even the F-16 looks more agile & sleek.

actually can get the instruction from HM website.. as for the probe try use white glue.. it doesnt spoiled the paint and can be taken out later if required.

Thanks for the link!

most welcome..

BTW this is my F-35A..

it doesn't look too bad after all. but i'm still a tomcat and superbug fan through and through. the raptor is a fine looking bird but this lightning... hmm. i'd really like to see how it performs against the likes of the viper and superbug.

damn! it looks like the from the deafening silence that the viper kicked the lightning's arse...

For the first time F-35 is actually design for VTOL, as known the F-35B is the original design.
But after Lockheed Martin win the contract race, I shock they going to design 2 more aircraft using the same design....
So that why most comment is bad because this aircraft not suitable for A and C.

The exhaust nozzles of the turbofan engine on the F-35A model by Hobby Master is totally wrong as its way too small and not flushed with the airframe.

Check out the actual ones on the real plane.

I hope HM corrects this for future upcoming models.

just to share. another excellent aggressor, this:

Nice F-16 aggressor.

yup... full pylons, this. and i'd rate witty vipers above hm. i don't fancy hm's seam lines at the midsection of their vipers... and their gloss paint are kinda thick.
