hey guys
I have been playing around with this F-35 for a few weeks now in between another project I have been tinkering on which will also soon be finished.
I've often thought the F-35 was pretty ugly and so decided that I may have to do something about that. I'm not sure it's as pretty as it could be, but I am happy with it
I've reversed the wings and made them out of sheet styrene. I added some canards because canards are cool and reversed the tail fins I also added some body panels which you can't really see under the paint. The decals are from an F-15 kit I had lying around except the roundels which I painted on
It was just a fun project to help try lift my stymied modelling mood of late.
Anyways, tell me what you think - good or bad

What an amazing transformation. Much more exciting looking than the standard F-35.

Brilliant work :thumbsup:
Stunning! And visually arousing :mellow:
thanks for the kind posts guys
There's a lot of things I would do differently if I were to do it again, and I may have done them on this one had I not begun to become super impatient with it.
I'm much happier so far with my other side project which I've been sitting on for ages - it's looking really good so far but it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. However, I'm not going to build that one up just yet in case I put it back in the cupboard
Cool! :mellow:
Love the concept & the colour scheme! :thumbsup:
Good Idea, i like it...

I think I like it more than the regular F-35!
Thanks guys - I'm sorry for the delay in posting my gratitude
There are a number of things I would do differently if I was to do it again, but I will fix up the canopy one day. I probably should've done a better job of it all round, but this was literally just a bit of experimental fun for me. My F-22 on the other hand was a serious job but I kept screwing up the paint work. I think I'm up to attempt #4 and still having issues. :banghead:

I can assure you, what I did was nothing special or tricky - if I can do it anyone can! :thumbsup: I just used sheet styrene and sanded down the edges etc. The flaps are also strip styrene.
thanks again guys and I will be back with something better very soon

This is glorious!!! Great work.... good choice of colors for the paint!
