Meng 1/48 F-35A almost finished

Howdy. This is a very nice kit. No problems with fit at all, and absolutely flash free. If the thought of  painting 10,000 zig-zaggy RAM lines makes you smile, this kit is for you.

There is a die-cut mask set just for this kit, the LS-007, available, but it said 45 days out from China, so I just did the best I could with Tamiya tape and freehand. The base coat is Tamiya Gunship Grey spray. The RAM lines are Model Master Acrylic. ThenTS-13 gloss for the decals. After the decals set, I will use TS-80 to finish. Then will install all the weapons, doors, and such. The canopy is just sitting there for the pic. No instrument panel there yet.

In my humble opinion, a must have kit. Hope you enjoy.

That looks a might better than I think I could pull off. Looks great Darrin.

Looks great.   Good to hear about the kit. I have same one yet to built.  I was impressed with Mengs Merkava armor kit and was hopeful the f35 would be equal in quality.
