Sort of out of the blue news!

But the timing could not have been better, I really would want to build one in near future. And "holidays 2022" sounds as a good timeline.

I was so close to buy Mengs F-35A, but luckily did not buy it yet = ever.
I'll wait for Tamiyas, there is light in the tunnel.

:hmm: mmmmaybe.... not sure.... oh who am I kidding, I want one!

I do have the F-14A and the P-38, would like the F-4B, this was quite unexpected.

Seeing how Japan is fielding them, it was only a matter of time before Tamiya or Hasegawa tackled the subject.

Always grateful to have members like you who are keeping this place alive! And yes, 9 options are pretty cool. The German Air Force didn't show their official decaling yet, so that has to come later through the aftermarket.

Meh... I'm not interested. Never am a big fan of the F-35 Lightning. I think they're a fugly looking airplane.
