Holger KranichNice `n clean build, Danumurthi! I like the appaerance with all the ordonance under the wings, even when it doesnt makes much sense for a "stealth" bird.😉😄

Michael PhillipsFantastic work Dan! I hear this kit is a nightmare to build, can you reinforce or refute that? I have a KH F-35A in the stash, but I am tempted to get the new Meng F-35A which is out for like $39.99 in Asia...

Danumurthi MahendraHi @Michael. thank you! and yes, this kit is a total nightmare to build. Every inch of the way, from the first cut to the last fitting of the parts drove me NUTS! Pound for pound, building this kit is like walking trough waist-deep mud. I have my building notes if you are interested I can PM you.

Michael PhillipsIf it is not much trouble, yes, I would love to see them. I appreciate the offer. Part of me says to build the KH kit for the challenge, the other part of me says "fool, are you crazy?!" LOL

Holger Kranich" building this kit is like walking trough waist-deep mud."
Strange that some KH kits are a pleasure and some are bloody sh*t...😎

Danumurthi Mahendratrue @Holger. I think there are inconsistencies. this is my first KH, but I have friends who made other KH models and and they have different experiences. some good, better, some bad.

Erik LeijdensIndeed very impressive. Have the KH F-35A in the stash, not very eager to start it! Yours is fantastic Danumrthi 👍

Christian RistitsThis is another great build from you Danumurthi! Have this kit also in my stash, but after reading your words I guess I will keep it there for a longer time...if you could send me also your building reports as PM, I would really appreciate it! Again - fantastic work!

Danumurthi MahendraHi @Erik - Thank You. I have only done the F-35C version and yes its a very challenging build. I only heard from word-of-mouth that each of the variants fairs differently. I head one of them A/B/C is a better fit. (but now you know C has serious issues). so the better one is maybe the A or B? LOL

Danumurthi MahendraJust sent you a PM @Christian. I spent a lot of time figuring out what to do. And testing approaches that will not harm or destroy the model. If I was to build another KH F-35C, I can definitely work faster knowing my lesson learned.

Sergej IGreat result! 👍 I envy you that you are already finished with yours 😄
Working just now on this same kit, it's a proper challenge, to put it nicely.

Album info
A modern overpriced kit that would completely sap all your energy, time, and resources to near nil. The fit was horrible, the parts were at many times thick, and there were so much cleaning and modifications that it threw out all the fun at building the kit.
