1,623 LockheedMartinAerospace  7.6 years ago

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air defense missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off Barrier Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing. On 2 August 2016, the U.S. Air Force declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready.

    @LockheedMartinAerospace look at this very accurate f-35a blueprint
    the wings are aligned af, at least you could make them look like they are aligned

    @Sauce Search for the F-35 technical drawing. The plane doesn't use planform alignment, but a fiber-mat coating to hide.

    @Tully2001 yeah i know right, btw you are sharp-eyed my f22 isn't 1:1 it's very slightly bigger than the real thing, in a nutshell it's 1:0.96875
    @LockheedMartinAerospace well it's a good replica given the part count, but platform alignment is a thing you know :)

    Very cool, I like how you did the missiles...did you have to turn off collision to get this to work correctly?
