Hi guys,

This is my attempt at Tamiya's F-35A kit in 1/72. This kit is a real gem from an engineering perspective my only real complaint is that the decals are on the thick side, in typical Tamiya fashion.

I followed Tamiya's instructions regarding the main shades of grey which helped matching the decals colors.

This was quite the departure from the cold war aircrafts I usually build and I can't say I'm convinced by the grey on grey on grey trend on modern aircraft.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

This build deserves more than 3 pictures!

Thanks Neuling, I'll try to snap a few more next time I set up the photo booth.

Beautiful! I seem to notice that the canopy is slightly tinted. Did you spray it with some ink, or was it provided like this?

Beautiful build! 👍

Thank you guys,
@Thomas. I sprayed several layers of clear orange, purple and smoke from Tamiya and Mr Hobby. The effect is a bit too subtle, I wish I had sprayed a few more layers.
The canopy was also polished with Tamiya wax to enhance the shine.
