Lockheed-Martin F-35B Lightning II. Tamiya 1/72.

This is a little jewel of a kit and although I am not a great fan of modern jets, especially if they are all grey(!), I was quite taken by its stunning quality and felt I had to build it almost for it’s own sake.

This is the USMC B version and is slightly smaller than the Naval C version, but comes with extended undercarriage for take off from carrier decks. It is a 5th generation stealth fighter and comes in three variants, A (USAF), B (Marines) and C (US Navy).

The question is do the Americans have a “Kill Switch” for the F-35!? If you are reading this Donald Trump, please let us know!

This is VMFA-211 “Wake Island Avengers”, First Combat deployment, USS Essex, Middle East, 2018
