Tamiya's new tooled 1/72nd scale F-35A is here - can it compete against all the original tooled F-35 kits available in 1/72nd scale head-to-head to knock the prior champion - the Academy F-35B - from its pedestal?

What do you think of the Tamiya F-35A? Do you think it's worth paying more than the Academy or Hasegawa kits? Let me know in the comments below....

@tokyochannel2020 11 месяцев назад

The Tamiya comes with masking for the canopy and smallparts under the nose that alone for me brings it up a few notches over the academy kit, which you need to find and spend a little extra for a 3rd party masking kit. Since i am Japan based Tamiya items are cheaper so thats also a bonus for Japan based modelers.

@yorkshiremanmodels 11 месяцев назад

nice to see tamiya f35a release is as good as i hoped great comparison video

@rodolfonathanieljrangeles4316 11 месяцев назад

Do add buildability of the different kits in the scores

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

These are all out-of-box reviews, rather than build reviews, but I do cover that in my full builds

@GeoffArnold1 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video. I've built several Academy and Hasegawa F-35s, as well as the rather crude Airfix. I'll probably get the Tamiya, if only to encourage manufacturers who include pilot figures! (I build all my aircraft in-flight.) Would it be useful to restore your table using the Academy F-35A "Seven Nations" offering (ACA12561)? I found this decal sheet very satisfying, and completed the model in Royal Norwegian AF colours. Hopefully Academy will do a similar F-35B reboxing with US, British, Italian and Japanese markings.

@ronaldbyrne3320 11 месяцев назад

Love that a pilot has been included but wondering if it’s easy / possible to build the model with the wheels up?

@GeoffArnold1 11 месяцев назад

I'll let you know here, after I build one. For the Academy F-35s, I fabricated a stand using acrylic rod fitted into the exhaust. Hopefully the same will work for the Tamiya. (I'm actually thinking of trying the same trick with a 1/48 F-35.) @@ronaldbyrne3320

Love these comparison videos and was wondering how long the patches will be available to earn, I love a challenge like this, it might get me out of my ww2 model making niche

No time limit, I've 100 patches...when they're gone, they're gone!

@Runway_Models1987 11 месяцев назад

I'm wondering if they just downscaled their 1/48th kit and the ram panels seem to be an issue with the F-35s

Hey @MansModelMoments Great review! I completed my Italeri 1/72 F-35A Lightning II at the end of last year that I can get a photo of but I only have WIP photos but not a photo of before I started, I know you stated the rules but is there any room for movement or is it a blanket no? I only ask as I love that patch and would really love it in my collection, on display with my F-35A and X-35B! Thanks in advance!

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

Oh....I think rules are made to be bent! Get in touch through the channel email! :-D

@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P 11 месяцев назад

OUTSTANDING!!! This is the kind of "Kit Review" that I REALLY Enjoyed. A Superb description of All of the F-35s of different brands. Although, I think that you could have ( who am I to criticize, this being my first comments on this extraordinary Channel ) to stick with just one (1) type of F-35 (A,B, or C-types)...But hey its your Channel! Seriously, I found your Review Very well rounded including the price, dimensions, clarity of parts, but Also the Extra...decals, weapons, and interior w/o the Extra Accessories from like 'Eduards' or 'Quinta Studios', but Masks for the kit...What a PLUS (+)!! Just curious if you do this often....or was this just a one timer because of ALL of the Major brands you would need to buy! Thanks for the posting!!

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

Thanks - the original 9-manufacturer comparison was the first, but since that I've also looked at the Beaufort and will be taking a look at the Mosquito soon

@hopik5122 11 месяцев назад

I bought the italieri one, because the tamiya dont give you tinted canopy, shame. They have it on the /48 but not the /72 :/

What is the best 1/72 F-22 available? Is there enough choice for a review like the F35

@supercededman 11 месяцев назад

Lack of internal bays is the killer for me. I'm quite surprised; Tamiya are usually pretty strong in this area.

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, I was surprised too - especially with the external stores

@lt3mony 11 месяцев назад

@Andy.Gledhill.Models. 11 месяцев назад

I really can't believe how you only gave a 5 for Tamiya's instructions. Then you described their instructions as average? To me, Tamiya instructions are some of the best you can get. They always tell you what colours to paint lots of the detail parts etc. A lot of manufacturers will not tell you paint call outs etc. They are clearly laid out and easy to follow. OK they only provide paint references for Tamiya paints, but a lot of other kit manufacturers will also only provide 1 paint manufacturer. Its easy enough to cross reference the paint call outs with online paint charts etc. Perhaps it is wrong to group models of F35-A's with F35-B's. Maybe a comparison of just F35-A kits would have been better. After all, in effect, they are completely different aircraft.

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

Clearly you've not seen the original video which shows the other instructions, and shows how much better they are than Tamiyas. - so yes, they're in the middle of those reviewed. Also the F-35A/B/C are not "completely different aircraft", so its absolutely fair to judge them together.

@Andy.Gledhill.Models. 11 месяцев назад

@@MannsModelMoments I have seen the other video, but it was a while back and I can't remember the other instructions. I was on about Tamiya instructions generally, compared to some other kit manufacturers. Plus, I would definitely class them as different aircraft. One is a vertical take off and landing. The other is not.

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

@@Andy.Gledhill.Models. Tamiya instructions are generally good, but they're not as good as current Airfix, Revell, ICM, Italeri etc. As for the different aircraft point, one being STOVL is not the issue - it's a common airframe that was planned to have different modes from the outset, so I really wouldn't say they are. If the STOVL version was a later development, maybe, but it was always designed that way.

@Andy.Gledhill.Models. 11 месяцев назад

@@MannsModelMoments LOL I wouldn't put any Revell kits instructions above a Tamiya kits instructions. But they are better than the likes of Takom, Das Werk and Border Model. At least they tell you what colours to paint stuff. Takom are well known for telling you nothing.

@MannsModelMoments 11 месяцев назад

@@Andy.Gledhill.Models. Have you seen modern Revell instructions? Revell used to be pretty rubbish, but ones from the last 10 years are definitely better than standard Tamiya instructions
