Hello colleagues,

this time I would like to share with you about my elaborate building F-35I by Italeri 1/32

I have a complete etch set from Eduard for the kit. I made the cables in the chassis shafts and bomb bays of lead wires of different diameters. I am currently repairing the nozzle because the kit is really terrible. I use the etchings of my own design, which I lay on myself to create the characteristic look of the nozzle.

Perhaps you will like the building 🙂

What a beautiful job on the piping of the weapons bays and gear bays! So, if I understand correctly, you made your own brass etch for the nozzle petals? That's just insane!
Tomáš Pelej said 6 years, 4 months ago:

Yes, you understand it well. Etched parts of my construction.

Yesterday I applied a repaired kit and the nozzle is finally done

VERY impressive, Tomas! (Sorry, I don't know how to add the small marks for the letters in your name.) Those PE parts & the nozzle in general are spectacular.

Like it? I LOVE it!

Tomas, the photoetch work on this is unbelievable! Do you have elves on the payroll?

the next step, the bumper and the chassis shaft I stuck into the hull and I slightly improved the cockpit
