Tamiya 1/48 F-35A Lightning, RNoAF


Recommended Posts

Here is my 1/48 Tamiya F-35A Lightning, in RNoAF markings.  I used a mix of the kit decals and Caracal Model's F-35A International sheet.  The PE set for the cockpit was actually for the KH F-35B, but I made some adjustments to make it fit.  The seat belts are from Eduard.  The Sidewinders are from the kit, as is the GBU-12 Paveway.  The GBU-38 JDAM is from the Hasegawa Weapons Set D.  The AGM-158 JAASM and GBU-53B SDBs are from Eduard.  The Have Glass V paint is from Missin Models.  Detail painting was done using Model Master enamels, Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics.  My hands weren't steady enough to do the weapons bay details justice so I closed  them up.  Photos were taken with a Kodak digital camera.  All in all, a very nice model kit, highly recommended.

Very Cool - it`s from Norway! As you mentioned, this is not a RNoASF loadout - Yet! Who knows what capabilities we`ll see in the future for our F-35s. Right now there quite busy looking after Bears and Mays, coming down the GIUK gap.
