                        There are kits of the JSF? I didn't know they even decided on what it looked like.

                        Hey will, excellent idea! I've been wanted to add the JSF to my list of unbuilt kits for quite a while.

                        I was kind of hoping to wait until there were some more offerings out there (other than the italeri and revell kits), mostly to get a production F-35 kit rather than the prototype.

                        Ok, so if i can find one and am satisfied with the kit, I'll do an F-35.

                        But even if I can't I'll see what I can come up with for you in terms of a badge.

                        Btw, my brother has started a super hornet GB for early next year. Perhaps that might interest you ?

                        Sounds like a cool idea. What 48th scale kits are available? Would this be strictly builds of the current prototype, or maybe throw in a little "what-if" and do some different camo schemes and foreign-user markings as well?

                        That's tru sarge, he could, but he doesn't have to. Smile [:)] I don't think any of the JSF kits out right now are terribly accurate- most of the info is still classified, so I imagine cockpit detail is fictitious.

                        Probably are, but then again you COULD try to use a current generation panel to at least make it look decent. Im probably going to install an FA-18 or F-15 one in mine if there is no detail.

                        It had nothing to do with political views. It was a matter of decorum. Degrading insults against the Commander in Chief are inexcusable, no matter what the political party. It's a dead (and deleted) issue. Let's keep the JSF thing going here......

                        Looks as if Tamiya makes a 1/72 X-35 kit #60767.

                        So, is this build going to go anywhere? I think it's a good GB with a solid focus. I may even be able to participate! Wink [;)]

                        ClumsyModeler, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you regarding Tamiya kit #60767.
                        As with many of their 1/72 kits (the WW2 stuff is usually genuine Tamiya), and virtually all kits in the Warbird Series, these kits are not manufactured by Tamiya but are reboxed with Tamiya branding. The usual suspect for the majority of the Warbird Series is Italeri.

                        HLJ are honest about the true origins of kits wherever possible, and their write-up for #60767 ends with:

                        Produced in Italy for Tamiya.

                        which means "manufactured by Italeri and reboxed by Tamiya".

                        here is the URL if you want to have a look for yourself (a few photos of a completed kit too):

                        http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM60767

                        I'm not sure of the purity of origin for the Revell kit either .... it may also be a reboxed Italeri. However, if it is a genuine Revell mould, its not really much of a decision is it?

                        Bah! Thanks for the heads up! Guess I won't buy it then. Still need some dates for this build. It'll be interesting having everyone build the same exact kit, no?

                        Hi Guys,

                        Sorry for the delay in responding to your feedback about the badge contribution .... its been a hectic two weeks at work.

                        Anyway, I've finally fiddled around a bit during what passes for my lunchbreak, and put together some variation on the first option, using various opaque backgrounds to get the text to stand out a bit more.

                        Sarge, if you were referring to the font itself when you said it was "too plain", please let me know what you think would work better, and i'll make the changes and post another sample. I was going for maximum clarity and usable height within the width, hence Impact it was.
