phantom Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) About freaking time. Get the first 4 in around 2026. So that gives me a little time how to model the paint job. I remember when we got the Hornets.....I was in high school. I'll be three years retired before the first 4 are on line. Edited January 10, 2023 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Right Shawn! Next you'll be telling me that RCAF has no intention of painting them Voodoo Grey with red/white lightning bolts running down the fuselage! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alvis 3.1 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Canadian modifications the the F-35, eh?: Timmies cup holder in cockpit. Hockey Night in Canada streaming service antennas. Deployable spotlight mounted on Freezing Wingman drone. Hockey gear bag luggage pods. Onboard voice module set to say "Zed" instead of "Zee" (Already a feature on UK and Australian F-35s) Beer cooler mounted where the lift fan would be in the "B" model. Poutine warmer mounted in same bay. Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Side note about Aggressors. I wonder what became of all the schemes the former/current Commander wanted to paint the 64th Vipers in? IIRC, only three got something different. The black/red, the shark and a Felon digi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alternative 4 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hopefully this picture is viewable, it was posted on the RAAF's facebook page. The photo shows quite major paint wear around the canopy of one of their F-35's https://scontent.fchc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/376850951_742051294624374_6882219045248205587_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=49d041&_nc_ohc=2xXM3uG17FEAX_O89Pk&_nc_ht=scontent.fchc1-1.fna&oh=00_AfA62XV4hU-Cu3ZrpJRpJjc7oxDQZpF8zW6fJ_UKJwL-4g&oe=64FED823 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

achterkirch Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Surprised no one has beat me to it. Here are a few F-35’s from the 115th FW. They are currently still transitioning to the F-35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
