Cool subject. Not the prettiest aircraft in the sky's but one we'll be seeing a lot of over the next good few decades.

What I'm seeing here looks really good to me Rod. Especially all of those goodies.

Oh boy - PE and details in 1/72. The F-35 is growing on me. I saw an F-35A fly out of Luke AFB yesterday while out and about.

Not my most favorite aircraft either but I know you’re going to do some fantastic work with it. Looking forward to watching your build!

Here are the "cleaned" pieces of resin:  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr I think the colors given in the Eduard instructions for the cockpit and ejection seat are correct, what do you think?  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr  by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr |

This is already light years ahead of the Academy kit in my stash. Very impressive pieces for this one. Looking forward to seeing this.

Not my most favorite aircraft either I used to think that. But see them often enough and they tend to grow on you. They sound more powerful than a F-16 by quite a bit. I live near Luke AFB so I have them fly right over my house most days of the week…    Rod, I’m looking forward to seeing what you do on this project. |

That's looking quite nice... and in 1/72! Ya I live near Stik and see them quite a bit. On occasion I have to drive up to Sun City on the 303 which goes right past the end of the runway. I'm always craning my neck watching them and F-16s take off. They do grow on you.

And this is all in 1/72nd scale?! I'd be going completely loco trying to pull these kinds of results off in this scale!  Excellent progress on this one Rod.  |

It looks great! I would have painted the light grey areas too.

Moving right along. I'm assuming this all goes together with almost magical precision like all of the newer Tamiya kits?
