To my old eyes it's not an attractive aircraft to start with and then overall grey colour scheme makes it look a tad more ugly. I'd also build the RAF B version but like you I'll wait until the person in charge of camouflage realises that colourful military aircraft might be easier to spot in real life but they make better models for us ! It is great to see a new 1/32 kit from Trumpeter though, hope it sells well and prompts more releases - it certainly looks a good kit from the pictures. Like this? I believe this is the F-35 Aggressor scheme called "Wraith", as found on the interweb.

Oldbaldguy Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If this ever happens, you F-35aphobes will be happy to learn that the USAF has approved a splinter camo paint scheme for their aggressor F-35s that offers something besides overall yucky gray. Still not a glamorous airplane, but an improvement as far as modeling goes. Daywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, to my eyes, this aircraft is just plain ugly, it seems so out of proportion. It's just such an unappealing looking plane to put on my limited shelf space. Hoping that those who love it find the kit a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Am I the only one who sees an F-22 in the picture above? I thought this was about the new F-35 Kit ..However painting an(y) aircraft in Turquoise and poop brown doesn´t do much for its appeal - but that may be just my opinion Edited July 10, 2022 by Zola25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've created a whole new debate. I'm happy with the turquoise, looks similar to the Russian cockpit colour however poop brown will spiral all over the place from hull red to RAF dark earth because poop brown isn't an official FS or BS colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
