Looks like the T-one F-35 is now available for sale, it's an impressive size!
Does anyone have more in detail photos or videos etc?

Looks interesting, been waiting for a large-scale F-35 to be released.

After DerJets, this has got to be the most horrible F-35 model ever. That gun fairing, and the inlets.....yuck! Needs 4 pounds of bondo to blend and fix.

How could they miss that? That model needs chemo.

After what I've been hearing about the quality of T1 scale kits, I wouldn't touch one.

but if i read all the messages on here, non of the current scale manufactures are 100% ok and most of them need work. Or am i wrong here?

At $8K there is very little allowance for basic modeling issues.

It just depends Bvm’s PNP are very good out of the box, also Skymaster’s newer PNP models appear good (eg su-30) and of course CARF’s big scale jets are very good however there is still quite a bit left for the owner to complete.

I own 6 BVM PNPs and I had an issue with one of them, (factory issue) Rob and Patty on the emails and next day I had the part/s, problem solved.

You won't get that kinda of service from T1, I worry about Skymaster's support in getting spare parts. Seems like your waiting months or bust.

Update from Austars, its a very nice looking jet so far.

This is really starting to look like an excellent model for the money.

Some more photos attached released by Pacific RC Jets via their Facebook.

do you have any news, about the first flight went, or any experiances with the kit.

Doesn't really matter I guess since I don't like the F35 and could never afford this but at $13,000usd for pnp minus turbine with the lights and missiles I just can't imagine wanting an F35 that's not capable of vtol.
I dunno, it's an ugly airplane in my opinion, the vtol capability is the only really cool part about it, can't imagine wanting one that wasn't capable of that. Just my opinion though.

Hello, Swiss-Jet
I am not currently building the F-35, I only shared photos that were provided on Facebook.
I would like to order but there is a lack of clear photos and videos available for this model and for the price I’m not willing to gamble untill there is more information available.

Hope this helps

IMO if you want to hover buy a helicopter, you dont do it in a $18k scale jet

When it's one of the defining characteristics of the full scale should it not be part of the really expensive models bag of tricks?
3d hovering and vector thrust is pretty common in rc jets now but a jet that can do this in the full scale shouldn't have it on the model? You're entitled to your opinion but it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense.

But this model is of a F-35A no? So VTOL capability is not a scale feature it should have. It would have to be a model of a F-35B for that to be true, so your complaints are misplaced.

fair enough. I was unaware of that. I thought the F35 was VTOL overall. I didn't realize only one variant was.

There are actually 3 F-35 variants. F-35A is the standard, hard surface runway version used by USAF and is the one typically exported. F-35B is the VTOL/STOL version. F-35C is the carrier version with a bigger wing, folding wing tips and beefed up landing gear.
