New pre-pro images added Hobby Master HA4450 F-35A “Blue Splinter” 11-5022, 65 AGRS, 57 WG, USAF (what if scheme). Pre-orders for this 1:72 scale model are being taken at £76.95.
The 65th Aggressor Squadron is assigned to the 57th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. It currently flies the F-35A Lightning II, painted in camouflage schemes identical to those observed on Russian-manufactured aircraft, providing Air Combat Maneuvering training to USAF and other aviation forces in conjunction with Red Flag exercises.
Although the squadron does currently fly an F-35 in a Blue Splinter scheme, this model asks the question: What might a Blue Splinter Aggressor Squadron F-35A look like? Wearing a three-tone blue splinter camouflage scheme similar to that of Russian Su-27 and Su-57 fighter jets, this model represents a ficticious Aggessor Squadron F-35A Lightning II.

Designed to meet the US Military’s requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history.
