Tamiya has taken the 1:32 Italeri Lockheed Martin F-35A kit, and used it as the basis for a Tamiya Limited Edition of the aircraft in Japanese military markings.
As with most modern military aircraft, this F-35A has a monotone marking scheme, consisting of plain grey with a lighter grey-blue for the radome and assorted panels. Note that even the normally blood-red Japanese rising sun roundel has been reduced to a pale circle. The F-35A has them on the wings, and beside the air intakes on each side of the fuselage.
Tamiya say their limited edition of the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II includes these features:
JASDF marking decals plus markings for six different air forces.
A choice of tyre parts - existing compressed ones, and new uncompressed ones.
Highly detailed engine and cockpit, plus a wealth of ordnance.
Photo-etch sheets also included.
Length: 490mm (19")

An interesting model. Wonder how much extra the additional tamiya parts will add to the final price of this kit. Happy Modelling
