Tamiya 61124 1/48 Lockheed F-35A Lightning II Model Kit

This video shows the process of the "temporary assembly" of the new 1/48 Lockheed F-35 A Lightning II without any glue.
The video shows the precision molding of the kit and how well it goes together right out of the box.
It also explains the basic structure of the kit, so some of the parts are not installed.
This kit is available for pre-order with a release date around mid-December.

    The video seems to be shot backwards. Hence the perfect fit.

    That is a really clever way of doing the video though! Minimising any possible hand shake, etc. Very clever. I'm sure the fit is still Tamiya-excellent.

    I LOVE it! This is so much better than 3D CAD animation, because you can see that it's the actual parts going together. Kit design looks lovely too. Bravo!

    I'm not even a fan of the F-35 and the Meng kit did nothing to improve my opinion, but this? This is legit, like all Tamiya. Preordered mine on the day it was announced. UPDATE: Holy FSM this thing almost broke me. It looks incredible in Beast Mode and it's one of my best-ever builds, but I'm not doing another.

    ​@antonyeocharidis9576 this kit is quite expensive. But i can confirm that the fitting is as good as shown in the video. Highly recommended

    Tamiya's known for its quality, detailed yet easy to assemble, ( Chinese models have way too many parts) precision fitting as you can see from this video too, variety of selections, the best box art.

    @@danreed7889 Everyone has different opinions..so I'd definitely prefer Tamiya's precision fit, uncluttered parts over cluttered, thousands parts of Chinese makers. Tamiya, Academy, and after probably Eduard models. And Tamiya models are maybe too simple to you but u can't deny Tamiya is number 1 maker by its quality, precision.

    You'll have to make do with Italeris' for now but 1/32 is getting too pricey and Tamiya can't get a 1/32 aircraft on the market for a price we can afford anymore! I bought their Supermarine Spitfire last year for $169 Canadian! Ouch!
