F-35A Arctic Splinter - What if
Started with the cockpit. At the beginning it wasn't planned as an in-flight model, so I added the seatbelts - later replaced it with a pilot.
cockpit complete
with the pilot
Gunze 1500 black primer and a bit of tonal variations
AK RC248 FS36251 as base coat
let's start masking
first arctic grey was a bit to dark, so i've had to mix a more lighter shade
that's much better
AK RC341 Black Grey
Decals on. Later on (not shown in the pic) only a bit of panel lining and wash added. Sealed with MRP-278 HAVE Glass – Special Matt Varnish.
and a quick base with ground blur from Coastal Kits
the model can be turned a bit on the acrylic holder
some final photos ...

Album info
I've got this kit for birthday last year and wanted to do some special livery. The kit ist the Revell / Italeri rebox - not the best F-35 but a good base. Added some Eduard PE for the cockpit, a pilot vom PJ Production and a mix of TwoBob and kit decals.
