Here are some of the first detailed images of our new Lockheed Martin F-35C Lighting II 1/48 scale model kit. This aircraft was built without paint, but outlined with a coat of our panel-liner to accent the immense amount of detail in this kit.
These are just some sample pictures. We have a large gallery of detailed pix on the site - you can see them here:.
