This is a project that has grabbed my attention after countless videos concerning the F-35b Lightning. I liked the source material for everything except for two details: the intake design, and the wing layout. While I am sure they served very important roles, I have fixed the to my liking because I want it to be pretty!

Naturally, I wanted to put my own spin on this awesome Fighter. However, like Lockheed Martin, I have encountered some technical dilemma, the most prominent being the odd auto-roll that keeps showing up in VTOL mode.
I am not asking for help, but simply showing everyone that is interested my new project.
I am also not abandoning any of my other projects, but they are being pushed back, because I want to make this thing awesome. I'm hoping to reach 200-300 parts for this thing, which may be easy considering the plans I have.
I feel that I should say that (to my knowledge) this plane does not exist in real life. I would not be surprised if a c version of this plane exists, but I doubt it is a delta-wing version.

    Hope everyone enjoys! I'm going to be working on this for a while, so leave some ideas down here for the jet. Also I am aware that the VTOL is not fully functional. I just need to tweak it more to make it work better.
