I do hope its NOT samurai armour....

One thing would be not to start a new thread for every single comment. Keep it all in 1 thread.

The f35 lightning II actually comes in 3 variants: Conventional STOVL (Short take-off, vertical landing) CV (carrier variant) The conventional variant means simply that, it is an f35 in body and tech only, has a conventional engine etc. The STOVL variant has the lift fan in the centre fuselage and and swivel tailcone for the short takeoff and vertical landing/hover ability. The CV variant is the same as the STOVL but is iirc 30% larger (odd for a carrier based airplane to be larger) but this is to accommodate the hinges for the folding wingtips for under deck storage, and a larger wing surface generating more lift for the super short runway of an aircraft carrier. Imo the CV variant would make a pretty awesome large scale model, with an operational lift fan, swivel tail cone, motorised folding wingtips, cockpit detailing with lights, engine sounds - it's a pretty epic sounding aircraft when doing a short takeoff on a carrier, look for some videos on youtube. You could also offer a range of various armaments to make different configurations.

Well my 1st package arrived yesterday,just 3 days after placing the subscription! Lightning speed! Had a look through the parts and the quality so far is superb. Not had a chance to make a start as yet as been quite busy. I had a delivery a week or so ago am from the hachette Bismarck build that I also need to progress with. I'm also awaiting my 1st parts of the eagmeloss Ghostbusters ecto 1 and de agostini ford GT bringing things to a total of 4 builds. I already have plans that I want to keep the 'stang pristine, weather the GT and build a diorama like it's in a pit stop mid race, ecto 1 we shall see what develops from the modders, and bissy is getting weathered up too. As a result I am also on the 24 months plan which now means my next package will march time, so I might wait and let a few packs turn up before starting to build. I dont like have too many loose parts kicking around

There are quite a few star wars kits already available from other companies and you can buy high end light sabers with full sound boards, a fully working kyber crystal and blade choices from a fair few companies in the US for a lot less than what it would cost a partwork. However I would love to see more movie cars come along. Herbie the vw beetle could be a fun one

Hi, loving the look of this model. Do you have any more photos of the prototype - in the trunk, the interior, doors open, the underside etc? Any pics or videos showing the lights working and the sounds?

I only subscribed a couple of days ago and had an email this morning that pack 1 has been dispatched

Just received the email that pack 1 is on it's way! Tracking number provided too. Cant wait

Trigger pulled and order placed. Cant wait to get going!

Cheers Jim, look forward to seeing your progression! I suspect you will finish long ahead of me as I can only afford it over 24 months Awesome! I think I'm pretty much sold on this now

Hello all! I'm new to this group but not a newcomer to partwork models having built many over the last few decades. I was shown this model and page from James H as he is a friend and I must say, I am super impressed!! What a 1st build for a new company! My all time favourite car is the shelby GT500 'elanor' and seeing this one of a kind super snake has me drooling already, not to mention seeing the absolute stunning quality of parts so far this is almost too good to be true! Is this a limited batch or are there quite a few available? I would love to sign up and get this absolute beauty
