First the BREAKING NEWS!

I had mentioned previously that I retired from my career job and that we will be relocating. Well we have found our new house! We should be moving in May. Once the model room is done I will then go down the commission requests list. I will update as I can to show how I moved all my models as well as how I set up the new model room.

PLEASE NOTE:

This process will affect my weekly updates and the shipping of decals. There will be about two weeks where there will be a delay in shipping out decals. I will email the shipping date if it is going to take longer than three days. I also decided in order to get ahead of demand I am having my first SPRING SALE!

DSM 2026 SPRING SALE!!

For the entire month of April I have two coupons available. The first coupon is 10% off all orders under $50. The second coupon is 20% off all orders over $50. It is one coupon per customer/order.

You can get the coupon codes and info at: DSM SPRING SALE INFORMATION

Now onto the next build of the 1/48 Kitty Hawk F-35C Lightening II of VFA-86. I began this build with the cockpit as usual. I am using the Red Fox 3D decals for the instrument panels. I also decided to add the Eduard 3D Brassin ejection seat.

I am currently finishing up the cockpit assembly and detail then moving on to the nose gear bay and then the weapons bays. Please note as I get closer to packing for the move the weekly updates on this build will most likely be smaller as bench time will be limited.

You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 F-35C – VFA-86 Sidewinders
