F-35A Lightning II - RAAF A35-001 (Academy 1/72)

[ArmouredSprue]

Hi all

Here are the photos for my latest finished model.
Academy kit 1/72
Very nice kit to build straight out of the box. I didi a few scratch built details like the seatbelts for the ejection seat, the canopy tinting, threads on the tyres and a landing light on the nose landing gear.
I regretted to made the option to leave the canopy open since it was very hard to glue it in place and it still a little bit crooked.
The have glass painting was a mixed of Tamiya and Gunze to get the match. I've tried SMS 69 Have Glass but I wasn't happy with the colour (too greenish to my taste).

Great job! I wasted a few minutes looking for a crooked canopy. I didn't see it.

Don't tell anyone. It's the best way to hide an imperceptible flaw. Really first class work.

Nice work. Looks like it was a pleasant build.
I'm fighting the 48th Kittyhawk F-35B! No fun atall!
