Looks like tamiya have raised the hobby to another level.

Tamiya made new golden standart for plastic kits ingineering. Again. Thanks a lot for test build, Dusan!

Tamiya have outdone themselves. Probably the best enginerred 1/48 kit to date.

In my opinion this is the first candidate for „Model Of The Year“. Great details and absolutely NO need for aftermarket. Greetings from Germany

Awesome video!!! WOW!!! the level of detail on this aircraft is just unbelievable, especially the landing gear bays. Can remember growing up in 1960s-1970s and you were lucky IF a model kit had any detail of any kind in the landing gear bay. Amazing how the hobby has evolved throughout the decades!!

*All the know how of Tamiya is in this kit, high level details, easy assembly, you can focus on the paint with serenity. Thnaks for this build!*

Hvala Dušane na prekrasno videu! maketa je odlična! hvala!!

Superb! I mean what other word is there? This thing clicks together, literally, and the detail is amazing! 👍 (now, if only they would give their armor kits this kind of love)!

Wow! The level of detail in this kit is phenomenal! Would love to see what you do with it when the actual production version comes out.

Wow, this kit looks phenomal! Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

That’s the most beautiful out the box canopy I've ever seen 😮

Wonderful presentation of perhaps the best detail and molding I have ever seen in a scale model……❤️👍👍👍

WOW, awesome model kit

Wow incredible fit. What a kit 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for this interesting video. The level of detail and accuracy of fit are really impressive. It's hard to wait for this must-have kit...

Nice looking kit, can't wait to get this one

I am lucky enough to see and touch all models( A,B and C) of F-35s almost daily. This is the ONLY kit that appears to be dimensionally accurate!! 🙂

I really enjoyed that. I hope you do a part 2 with painting and weathering.

Excellent review.

Wow! Looks amazing

Wow, Nicely done!

Looking forward to picking this kit up

already have my order in for 2 of these...can't wait

Scheint ein richtig guter Bausatz zu sein! Kommt definitiv auf meine Liste!

awesome can't wait to get my hands on one. The engineering is so good it goes together like LEGO.

Thanks for the video

Great job from Tamiya. Once again. Just finished their 1/48 F-14A and I do not want to build kits of other brands anymore :) Amazing engineering. Now give us F-22 and Mig-29 please.

The level of detail in the weapons bay is amazing!!!

good work dude !

The “click “ special effect was a nice touch

Quality looks. Insane.

Tamiya engineering at its finest

Awesome engineering on that kit 👍

Great kit and build!

Perfect video 👍

Beautiful model and amazing work 👍👍👍

Very sharp looking kit

Man... now I REALLY want this kit.

Amazing... perfect fit everywhere and stunning details! Can't wait! Cheers from Argentina... nice modeling channel you have!

As a raw constructed model it looks like for the most part it has the usual great fit one would expect from Tamiya, it looks to have great well defined details and is a nice looking kit...would be nice to see a fully completed and weathered version of yours...and also looking forward to seeing it in production, as it is a kit I'd definitely be looking to acquire...thank you for the post!!!! Cheers from Sydney Aus!!!

Cool plane✈️👍

i love they included a number of liveries from different air forces

TAMIYA create some of the best kits - if not the best kits. Always have.

Hi Dusan, your videos are one my absolutely favorites. Thank's for your wonderful work!

Der Bausatz scheint wirklich super zu sein!! Denke wenn das auf den Markt kommt und bezahlbar ist, werde ich mir den kaufen 😃😃😃😃

Lovely fitting kit.

What a great kit omg 😱

This kit is certainly one i want to get my hands on!

Incredible kit! Almost looks like a snap together as good as Gundam. Wow

This kit looks awesome. My local hobby shop has them available on pre order

Wow the details of the internals is quite something!

Tamiya models are already better than other brands ( including Takom, Dragon, Trumpeter, Rye- field so on) however, Tamiya raised bar even higher with this new 1/48 scale F-35 aircraft model. Tamiya has ( has been) awesome model engineering technology.

Einfach, effizient, hochwertig. 👌

Well, as expected, a superb model, now i only have to wait for the F-35C variant...😎

Great kit. I really hope you going to paint it as late version. 👍😁👍

Amazing. I want it.

great kit with great detail. I've never build any military model kit so far, only gundam, will try it someday. Anyway, would love to see u paint it too.

WOW!!!! tamiya is light years ahead of the others

Tamiya upping the ante, nice one 😉👍

Terrific and as a "review" as it is way more useful than in box reviews which say little.

Very good

Wow!!! So maybe other than adding a Quinta set which I’m sure will be coming, I’m building this straight bob! Thank you for the awesome review!

That focus at 2:15 is impressive !

Looks like a beauty of a kit.

Looks great! I wish Tamiya would go ahead with the Raptor as well...

OMG I remember when I used to try to build these models when I was a kid often times break pieces or lose them some where and I had a hard time putting on the decals straight and aligned properly but I tried pretty hard despite the amount of time difficulty and frustration that went into it lol it was at least some what of a learning experience.

holy crap, the tightness of the fit is amazing. i remember my 1/72 revell F22 bay doors were a nightmare and they are FLAT!?

Very exciting to watch the dry fit, 😀 can imagine what it's going to look like once painted & weathered. Excellent preview Dusan. 👌 The only thing which puts me off is the price, I know for a Tamiya new mould & raw materials ect, but how do you justify it to the wife? Hoooooo! Christmas is just round the corner. Happy modelling.

HEY!! an included pilot figure!!! I will actually buy this kit! Unlike the awesome Monogram kits of the past, many manufactures have stopped putting pilot figures in the kits. Forcing you to build sleek jets sitting on the ground with every door, hatch, wheels down ( so they can break off), and cockpit open (or empty..). I hate that. Good job Tamika!!! THANKYOU. Now, if they didn't cost 100 bucks, I could build 3 and hang them from the ceiling!!! Where are the 1/48 B-47, C-119, and something other than the same old P-51, ME-109, F-4U, ???

Great detail and super good fitting! I notice there is a plain surface on the front panel, supposed decal would be applied ?

Impressive looking detail and fit, looks a lovely kit, but being a Brit I'll wait for the F35B :)

Looks super, even if these "stealth" panels appears to be a bit too pronounced. These weapon bays are great. All the best for You! ;)

that looks amazing !!!! just wish they would do this sort of detail on the WW2 Fighters !!!! and Bombers

Holy shit that looks like a good kit! Looking forward to se it finished ^^

I'm not even interested in jet fighter kits and yet it is an impressive design. Tamiya really is one of a kind.

Stunning model, also if 1/48 isn't my favourite scale, the engineering is insane, they detailed also parts you don't see after the build.👍😁

I hope you make a full build video of f-35A

Very nice 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊☺☺☺☺

The quality is so good that I first thinked whole kit is resin

What camera do you use? Thank you so much!

Landing gear bay is quite impressive. I thought it would be impossible to cast something like that, as it is no resin.

Hi ! Great job ! No paint job for this model ?

Tamiya, is way better than buying a model toy

Incredible model. Just a note: Are you filming your builds in 25fps and then exporting them at 30fps? I see a lot of ghosting in the frame whenever your hand or the model moves.

Cool! But all that raised detail for the taped areas on the real aircraft?

So wow. Maybe too much wow for me to be to do it justice.

Tamiya at it´s best

2:51 Nothing beats good ol' tamiya except price. Are they provide two colour of canopies?

Currently I am building this and did not touch putty once. Its a cliche saying but it literally fits like lego you just gotta glue the parts Big thumbs up

Na filmie to ciekawie wygląda

Please Tamiya do the same for the F-22

Tamiya does it again...

How does Tamiya consistently deliver such engineering accuracy in their kits. Close two parts together, no seam ? I built Kittyhawks B version of this two years ago and still haven’t finished it due to the fit issues experienced

I was waiting…

Hope they do F22.

Mould manufacturing techniques have moved on in the last few years by the look of it and Tamiya seem to be taking full advantage if this kit is anything to go by. I bet it ain’t cheap though!

👍👍👍

Holy hell that fit is incredible :O Another Tamiya kit where you don't need to go back to the hobby shop if you forgot to buy filler... The surface features however pain me very much... That's a big screw up in my opinion... Those stripes are tape that does not have a third "dimension" IRL, and their purpose is to hide the rivets, they don't come through it... sigh...

Is the model worth it?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
