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

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

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.
