Academy 12507 USAF F-35A Lightning II Aircraft 1/72 Scale Model Kit

Precisely moulded, so much so don't need so much trimming, filling and sand papering.Love the MCP, for the lazy ones like me, don't need that much painting and it still looks goodGreat display piece can be posed with bays opened or closed and decals are a little thick but greatfor goofy hands like me, just use a settler to over come it

Need to improve the accuracy

Package was totally crushed. Plane is poorly made and looks cheap. Too many small plastic parts.

Great model, looks realistic.

Tweezers and magnifying glass needed. Very detailed, tiny parts are difficult to assemble for 12 year old even with adult supervision.

excellent

Turned out pretty good. On par with other models in terms of difficulty and directions were clear enough you could figure it out. With the 1:72 scale, it does get tedious with all the small parts and some were pretty difficult to get together, and there were some parts that needed to be trimmed, but the level of detail is decent for such a comparitively small model. It turned out to be a bit smaller than I thought. This is the first one I've done in probably 16 years and took 5 days. When I was a lot younger I did all sorts of things like this, but probably weren't as well put together as the one I just did, so I can't say that I wouldn't recommend it for a kid.

kit is easy to putTogether and was enjoyable....
