The F-35A's introduction hasn't gone unnoticed. Over budget and with a seriously long development period, which lasted longer than many planes have been in service, it's had it's share of criticism. It is however the cutting edge of modern combat technology. Let's hope it will never really have to show its teeth. Italeri actually did a really good job on this small scale. Detail is good. The cockpit is rather simple but that's not so odd given the relatively small number of good cockpit pictures that have been released of which many are of the mock up.

The
build was quick and straightforward. Most parts seem to fit just perfectIy but I couldn't
get the AIM120's to fit however but that might have been down to poor test
fitting from my side.
