Confusionreigns178 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Am I only person who finds the F-35 pretty-darned "plain" to look at? For me, it's an airframe with almost no discernable "personality" (yes, I am talking about an inanimate object as if it were a human-being... not a good habit, but...). The F-4, F-105, F-16, F/A-18, A-10, F-104, Su-27, most of the earlier Migs, Tornado..... For me, these airframes simply oozed good-looks and superbly-defined functionality. This is an emotional response and not a logical one. It is also entirely, utterly subjective. Other users' mileage may (very likely) vary. Chris.

Chris. well...ya and also why I'm putting Canadian markings on mine. If I get that far, masking those RAM panels is giving me nighmares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, if we consider cold War jets were somewhat similar to lifelike bodies, the last generation fighters look like robots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be tempted by a B version I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Every time I look at an F-35, I think it's a straight-banana-with-wings. Chris. Supersonic and npb748r 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
