Please explain your claim that this is the Italeri kit. There seems to be no connection and I really doubt there is. I have three kits at home. Version A from Tamiya and Meng and B Version ex Italeri. There's quite a difference between all of them.

Brand new tooling, Test shots and component shots confirm this. Comes with stand and alternate landing gear to display hover mode

OK maybe I am misreading the Scalemates diagram in the Full History between 2022 and 2023. It is known Italeri and Tamiya have a tie up for the Japanese market, would be interesting to get the definitive info from either of them

Erik St
Yeah, I'm with you. It always gets me on who is connected with who. To be honest, I've bought the Italeri B Version just a week before the Tamiya A version was announced and thought directly I should have waited. Because it is obvious a B Version would also follow.

That boxing is Tamiya new tool, not the Italeri kit

OK good to know. TBH for me, on the price difference the Italeri kit is fine for me, I cant airbrush to high standards anyway 🙂

When it was announced it was mooted that the f35b was the italeri kit reboxed by Tamiya. I bought the Italeri on the basis Tamiya wouldn't flog a dodgy moulding. Somewhere along the line Tamiya have made their own moulds and the joint venture just disappeared like a puff of smoke. I'm hoping it's not that the Italeri one is their usual dodgy fit kit. !!! 😬

If you look carefully the link between the two has been removed on the full history diagram, but a small vertical line has been left 😁 where it was de linked …

There is now a YT video preview with sprues and manual and this B is more comparable with Tamiyas F-35A.

Paul Reddmeister
Good to know David H and bughunter. Thanks

Eric Silbaugh
How does this compare to kittyhawk version. I have that plus upgrades.

David H
It has its challenges!!

I'm considering getting one to build alongside the italeri one I have. Currently there's one on fleabay for £50. BiN …🤔

Eric Silbaugh
I have one already with extra. I'll keep my kh one and maybe get a tamiya version if I wanna do a in flight one.

Eric Silbaugh

Gordon Sørensen
Great job so far, Peter!
Watching with great interest. I have the Rothmans and Canadian Reds kits in my stash, too. I built the kit many years ago, and remember that the decals aren't opaque enough.
I remember as a kid, seeing the Canadians Reds (and later known as the Rayban Reds)at a couple Airshows in my home province of Alberta.

Villiers de Vos
This little model is turning into a beautiful little gem.

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Peter Mollenhauer
@Gordon - You are right, I still remember the decals, but.....at the moment I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will at least work and not disintegrate, haha

Thanks for your mental support so far, mates! 🙂

Ben M
You should definitely coat them before using them

Peter Mollenhauer
The decades-old decals are doing surprisingly well! They need an awful long time to soak and even then won't get off from the paper on their own, but otherwise they don't mind being pulled off by tweezer! Lucky me! 🙂

Eric Silbaugh
Is this still available? Do you ship to the usa?

Laurent VILLANUEVA- "HELLER ForEver"
Hello ,I have to look at the shipping price, and the customs papers?? I'll get back to you this weekend, but I think the shipping price to the USA is not cheapESPECIALLY since the box is full and the kit is "full resin" so that's at least 1 kg...

see you soon

Laurent VILLANUEVA- "HELLER ForEver"
+48.50€ zone c with french post to USA with package 2kg.... = 168.50 € = 187 dollars us

Eric Silbaugh
I'll have to check my model budget. But I might do that. I'll let you know. Also gotta get the wife's approval lol.
