KursadA Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 With the first F-35A sheet (CD48140) selling out and a lot of new, interesting F-35 markings on the scene, it is time for a new F-35A sheet. This has been on the drawing table for a while, and now that I have the last pieces of the puzzle (thank you! you know who you are), it will be off to print within days. Similar setup to CD48140 - same separate stencilling sheet to allow you to build multiple aircraft. Some very colorful examples including the Norwegian anniversary jet, the new Israeli test jet, Danish, Japanese (new unit) jets, and 5 USAF options including Lakenheath. Coming in late April/early May. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Coming in May - thirteen really nice options on this one, including 6 USAF units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Looks good, soon you will have to do the Canadian CF-35 (or what ever we end up calling it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Old photo, Peter MacKay was the defence minister back then. Plane was in the Ottawa museum for a while. I think that was were the announcement was made the first time we bought the F-35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I would bet it would look similar to our current CF-18 scheme. It is already low viz and all the other nations using it seem to be going that route. No camo on these aircraft. I am doing a camo one though as greys are boring.

USAFsparkchaser Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Nice to see some tail flashes for the USAF options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Tyler Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 What is the recommended kit for this sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 It is designed for the Meng kit, although I am confident that all the markings except the Israeli test jet will work on any dimensionally correct kit. Note that no kit except Hasegawa 1/72 F-35A got the subtleties of the various "panel lines" (more accurately the outlines of the RAM coating) on the tail correct, and USAF tail flashes seem to be designed to fit between these lines. My sheet provides the correct dimension and shapes for these markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 VT ANG...welp, Looks like I'll have to "Pthe T" on a Meng F-35A. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Prolly too late, but I'll these photos here for reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 These were applied after I finished the design of the sheet - they will go on the 1/72 version but in 1/48 scale we will have to wait a bit longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Any chance of a 1/32 sheet as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This may be a dumb question, but are the foreign F-35s painted in the Have Glass paint also? Or is that just the US versions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is that just the US versions? All F-35s, regardless of nationality, feature the Have Glass V coating and skin. It is critical to the overall stealth of the aircraft.

KursadA Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) I finally received the decals last week and I am working on the profiles for the ordering page - expect the preorders to be enabled in a couple of days. This turned out to be a very nice sheet and should appeal to anyone with an interest in the F-35. Edited June 5, 2022 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
