Global Scale Modeller

well i've been staring at two boxes for the last couple of weeks and could not decide which one to start. it was a toss up between academy a-10, and the tamiya f-35B. i have been rearranging the cave the last couple of weeks and can't get to the a-10, so the tamiya wins through default.
she's a beauty that's for sure. building it out of the box except for the decals, i picked up a set of furball anthology decals looking for something a little more colorful. is it weird i buy most of my kits based on the paint job? so here are a few sprue shots some from the instructions, and the decals.











what i really like about the kit is the different ways to display it, i'm going for the in air landing. well wish me luck
thanks krusty

Ive heard the kit is an absolute banger and the only F35 kit to buy. Good luck with the build

off to a good start, went thru the first ten steps, and prepped the the parts for paint, so off to the booth and get some primer laid on
thanks krusty

Any updates on this?

Regards
Keith

Like Stokesy says it looks a right cracker of a kit.

I said 'Banger' but lets not split hairs

Its been put in the same bracket as when Tamiya released their new tool 1/48 Mk 1 Spitfire, a real game changer. If I was into jets I'd definitely have one.

Nice start to the build. Clean and organised, a Krusty special on the way

Not a fan of the 35 at all. Wont be on my list. BUT, I am curious to see how this goes.

I don't build jets either , but I have 2 in the stash. A Chinese dragon thingy and a Trumpeter Harrier. Out of all the jets I only really go for the Harrier and the f-14 Tomcat which I don't have, but I think I like it because of all the JAG tv episodes I watched.


Ps....I don't count the A-10 as that was a special case.
