Joint Strike Fighter

[Buttkicker]

Not too many of these about at the moment - for those that are not familiar with aircraft - this is the upcoming F35 Joint Strike Fighter that is being built in collaboration with a bunch of other countrys

and is the 'Future' of Fighter technology (so we are told) LOL

'The last manned fighter'
............... disappointing!

This one looks very plastic, the electro-luminescent strip looks all wrong. Is this a full scale model or the real thing?

It doesnt look up to much really

Not a criticism, just an observation. Is the engine mock-up to the left a model of the B variant with the crazy lift fan affair? Scary!

The F22 in the background look real enough!

F22 is real enough

there was a 'pair' of engines and I cant find the images of them at the moment - but I am pretty sure that the one in view is the Navy version
