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.

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.
