Still waiting for these sods to do the F-35s they promised a couple of years ago in 1/72nd.

Because of that others haven't looked to kit them so we still don't have a current F-35B or readily available F-35  :banghead:

Amen to that!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Same here... although i've bought the C from Orange Hobby, but i'd buy another one... i was waiting to see how KittyHawk's kits are going to be...
I'd also like to buy a B, which is the only version i haven't bought yet...  If these don't come out till the end of the year, i'm buying the Fujimi kit.
I've just noticed that Cyber Hobby has the A and B version on Scalemates, still to be released...

Agreed. I'd like to see a nice F-35 kit or two.

i bumped this topic to bring you some bad news :(

i few hours ago, Kitty Hawk posted a message on facebook, allong with Panda Models, that they are closing down.

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=4163654523686802&id=736521713066784

no details are known about the reason, but i did hear the company has been in financial problems for a while now.

This is going to take up a lot of space on the bench I think purely because of its shape.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

My thoughts as well kit, and use a 1/72 (which I've built) as your side plate  :rolleyes:
