The Lockheed Martin F-35 "Lightning II" is an icon of the fifth generation of fighter aircraft. Eighteen years after its first flight and nine years after its entry into service, this state-of-the-art aircraft is now in service with 17 countries, with over 1,000 units of all variants produced. From the structure and avionics to the high-tech software and stealth coatings, the F-35 remains at the forefront of innovation and continues to evolve in all areas. In the world of scale modelling, the F-35 has captivated modellers since its prototype phase, prompting numerous manufacturers to produce kits in various scales. Recent advances in design and moulding technology have made these kits even more accurate. In this "Aircraft Model Special", the creators explore the subject of "Building, Painting and Weathering" using the latest F-35 "Lightning II" kits, focusing in particular on recreating the characteristic colour changes of the stealth paint scheme.
