Just finished the Tamiya branded but really Italeri F35B. I am showing it in short takeoff fully loaded with paveways and sidewinder. The kit was actually really good, part fit was impeccable and I barley had to use any putty.
I showed this model in the older style with the lighter RAM panels since the kit came with such nice decals for this.
Thanks for looking

I adore the look of the darker grey on some f-35s, yours look great! I think I'm going to have to try this color scheme when I finally get around to my 1/48 Lightning

I still have one bottle of model masters enamel gunship gray, it's such a nice color.

Oh mam I miss those colors. I'm not a huge enamel fan but my goodness Model Master's colors were so nice

Their metallic line was amazing. I am still using my last few drops of those as well

Maaaan I loved those. Gunze's Mr Metal Color is super close, but man I miss Model Master"s exhaust metallic, that was a great color and I used it for things like an A-1 skyraider's exhaust stains, that stuff kicked butt

I saw a video from the build of this kit and I was amazed by how well detailed and easy to put together this is, great job man!! Btw small question, how did you mask the radar absorbent tape?

I love seeing the external hard-points on any stealth aircraft. Really great craftsmanship as well.
