I'm working on molds for the F-35, but need a good 3-view drawing. I've been searching the internet but none of the drawings I found were good enough. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jonas.
Yes, I have the issue at home. But the 3-view drawing is very small and I don't think it is very accurate. The APU intake/exhaust has been moved and the nose gear door has been split in two, like on the other versions (B and C) My special interest are the wings and stabs for now.

Here are som pics of my plug. Getting ready for final painting soon.

Difficult to find any cross sections or even solid 3 views as the model is very new and all details are still under tight control,the F-22 is similar. Most smaller models or plastic kits are very inaccurate.
You can go onto www.f-16.netand look in their F-35 forums and you might be able to find furtherdetails.

Regards,

Gregory

stig is it going to be a one off or production plug

Stig Andersen

Not sure. I have not done this before, so I'm not sure of the result. I aim to make a close-to-scale F-35A that flies better that the previous versions I have seen/heard of. I have been working on this plug for a couple of years now, on and off.

Here are a couple photos given to me from a friend who was close to the project. Its going to be hard to get any declassified yet accurate line drawings. Did you check airwar.ru the russian site? lol honestly they have some of the best resources for drawings I have found for free online.

Subscribed. Hi Stig, your plugs look fantastic! How did you construct and what materials have you used as that looks brilliant!

Thanks,

Also the VTOL version has changed to use one large door for the vertical lift fan. Its similar looking to the Russian VTOL jet I cant recall the name that had a huge barn door on top behind the canopy. Im not sure which version your doing but I'm guessing its the AF version not Marine.

Keep her going!

Thanks, Nigel.
I made the plug from wooden formers and blue foam, covered with cloth and epoxy, uncounted amounts of filler and paint. It's really a lot of work.

I got the wooden fomers from Russ Ahlberg at Oakdale Aircraft, who also provided me with some foam cores for the wings and stabs. Very nice person and good to deal with. The parts from Oakdale represent the X-35A, so I had to make all the changes myself. The wings and stabs of the F-plane also have some changes compared to the X-plane. And it is those changes I can't find good info on.
