1/48 Kitty Hawk F-35A Lightning II Review/Preview

http://youtu.be/nV-35Wd17_k

Very happy to take a look at another Kitty Hawk kit, this time their very produced F-35A kit in 1/48th scale

A few points that can help makes your reviews better -

-Please center the camera on the parts trees, instructions, box - whatever you are talking about, having it off center is distracting and amateurish.

-Once again, learn what you are talking about - JDAM are not laser guided, they are GPS guided.

-When talking about the seat, actually measure the seat, don’t just say “it looks overscale.” Is it the wrong size or is it the correct size?

Thanks for posting the video. I appreciate the effort and the chance to get a peek inside of the box. My LHS rarely stocks newly released kits, so I very often find myself behind the curve and I am sometimes reluctant to take a gamble on manufacturers with which I am not familiar. Now that I have a bit on insight on what lies beneath the shrink wrap, I may just take a chance on this kit. I would be very curious to see how everything comes together!

Thanks for the review, Ranger_Chris61! Ditto to what KnightTemplar5150 said.

Don’t worry about the video not being “professional” - this is our hobby, and if we were professionals at it, it would no longer be our hobby, but our “profession”. Thanks for allowing us to view a well-done “amateur” peek into the box!

Just as a note, JDAMs can be fitted with laser seekers and still be called a JDAM, so your reference to them as laser-guided in the video is correct. Seems you do know what you’re talking about.

I have to be honest here, I never would look twice at any nations stealth aircraft, but after your review it is something on my to buy list lol, I was wondering is there an option for a British version? Or is that just the VTOL version, I’m not really sure, either way I look forward to your other videos. Also I agree with Devil Dawg, I mean it’s about fun, who cares if it’s not professional, its a review in your house not a studio lol.

Except for the FACT that the ones in the kit DO NOT have seeker heads, so he still doesn’t know what he is talking about.

This has got to be the WORST of the model forums where anything even constructively criticized, is harshly defended by the “good job / best I’ve ever seen” crowd.
