F35 stabilizer and sensors under the nose guestions

[panzerrob]

Hi all,

 

Attached are 3 photo's of my F35.

Are te stabilizers fitted correctly?

I couldn't find a solution while searching on the internet.

 

 

Last question is about the Targeting system sensor in front of the nosewheel well.

What is a good way to paint it, other then dark grey and white as the instructions suggests?

 

With regards,

Rob

The stabs should have a slight dihedral. The sensor under the nose - if moulded clear - try get some Hasegawa clear holographic film (available via Amazon).  The sensor is faceted, so no problems trying to lay it on a double curved surface.

Hi,

 

Thanks for answering!

I'm satisfied with how the stabs sit, and used clear yellow and orange for the sensors.

 

Thanks again,

Rob

If you can find iridescent gift wrap, that works great and it's usually super cheap.  A whole roll will last you a lifetime.  Here in the US most craft stores sell it.

Hobby Lobby Iridescent Wrap

 

I use it for HUDs and such. It can be attached into place using Future.  

 

Here is a picture showing the slight dihedral
