Niels Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 V3 do not have the additional weapons of V2, and a new decal sheet. Also the plastic is light grey and not dark grey.

habu2 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 New decals and different color plastic won't fix the shape issues..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With all due respect habu, what are the shape issues? I'm not saying it doesn't have it, I just like to know where they are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 They should atleast include the gun pod from the F-35C, as this is actually used a bit by VMFA-121 on combat ops Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For starters the shape of the rear sponsons around the horizontal and vertical stabs is inaccurate and the PTMS exhaust is missing. Meng got these right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much just the articulating nozzle there. KASL does make nice sets for the wheel wells, weapons bay, rear nozzle, rear nozzle, cockpit and air intake and drive shaft for the ducted fan in the fuselage. Oh, also corrected vertical and horizontal tails. Probably at least a couple hundred dollars to fix all issues and really detail the kit. KASL was going to make a set for the inside fuselage detail around the rear nozzle, but it appears they have given up on that project.

Niels Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Never thought of the KASL nozzle solving the issue of straightening the the Kittyhawk F-35B nozzle for ie inflight modes. Thanks for the tip - this has always put me off from buying the F-35B 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
