F-35 Lightening II

Now that was great fun. This is Italeri’s F-35 Lightening II in British markings with all vents open, all munitions loaded and jet pipe in the VTOL position. 

This is painted as an F-35 of Lightning Force XM151/017 from October 2019 aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth

I’ve used Vallejo’s sea grey with a few drops of gunmetal added and made up a 50:50 matt and gloss varnish mix to provide that silky finish peculiar to this stealthy aircraft.
