Default RE: Flyeaglejet F35 A 1:7

to summarize, the real F35 carries a crap load of fuel internally, so it is not a surprise that the model has a LOT of realstate inside. I would bet you can fit the equipment of three large F-16's in there. No scale cockpit available, but with the availability of 3D printers nowadays....you could put a full tub cockpit with full body pilot in there easily. Model feels incredibly light for the size. This is the size of a 1/6 F-16, perhaps a bit larger. It seems like you can fit a P400 in the engine bay.

Just like the F-16, the F35 fuselage IS a lifting body, so I am expecting it to be an excellent flier, with a good performance envelope.
