mpk Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi guys. I have been looking at this model. Is it any good? Bloody horrid looking machine but the wise Govt RAAF bought some. So I am intrigued. Also repulsed. But that is normal. Worth the money or the finger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good, I haven't done anything with it in the box but I like it http://largescaleplanes.com/walkaround/wk.php?wid=185 https://imgur.com/a/cNPgR Cheers mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic C.D. Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am in the painting stages of the kit and so far it was an enjoyable build. The wing to fuselage joint needs some putty though: there's a gap of about 1mm. What you will need however, is a ton of masking tape. Just for the top of the fuselage, I used 3 rolls of tape and the belly of the aircraft probably will need more than that! Last night I spent 4h masking just the gear and weapons bay doors. Patience is a good thing to have, because you need to be very accurate when masking ! It is an impressive jet, being slightly bigger than an F-16. Have fun! Nic F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Short version. Not bad. Good detail. May be the only 1/32 F-35 we see in our lifetimes. RAM panels wayyyy too pronounced. Prepare for LOTS of masking. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
