- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Apparently the X-32 was to have had a few cosmetic changes before entering service. The only ones I have seen are on the tail fins.

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

A FEW?  :o

It'd have needed an entire HANGAR full before it started to look good.............
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Is it just my imagination, or does the  X32 look too smiley and happy to be a serious fighter aircraft?

That'd be to make all the more embarrassing when you're shot down by it.  :wacko:

Aw c'mon, how could you hate an aircraft that greats you with a smile like this every morning!

It may look happy but it reminds me of a fat Labrador crossed with a pelican. :o

That plane looks like a friend of Maters from the Cars movies. ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
