@All
As I wrote on my blog, I've started the conversion of the F-35A into an F-35B, but I'm experiencing some difficulties (but I think I found a way out).
The texture layout will change in many areas.

Wow, that's great news! Thanks for trying to make that model.

Great repaints Luigi, i installed all your works!!!
ehmmmm.. are you thinking about an Italian Navy repaint? i know this is F-35A and not B, but i think this would be a nice "what if" in the meantime... :wiggle:
cheers!!

is not scheduled (yes I too have an agenda)

I look forward to the B and C... so I hope... Dino :salute:
 
Luigi,
thanks very much for these repaints - particularly the IAF one.

Am also looking forward to any more variants that Dino can produce,
regs,

Well, unfortunately my "paying job" is absorbing most of my time... So at present I have little time for FSX.
At present, the F-35B conversion is roughly 40% done. It does not look spectacular IMHO, but it is ok.
The F-35C is much more difficult - as expected - as blending the new wing is extremely difficult. The first attempts were looking really bad...

@Luigi
I always wanted to make a Thunderbird paintscheme - but never had the time.... There are pics from Lockheed Martin marketing, circulating on the internet...

Looks very nice. I always prefer painted textures over
photoreal compilations. Just a personal preference.

Dino, have you thought about going more pro with your work? It certainly is on par with many of the payware companies and your models are not even FS9 port overs. I have your F-35 and would have gladly paid more than it was retailing for. Charging a higher price would put a grimace on some faces, but your labor of love would now make you some profit for your time. Just something to consider and again, it's about re-couping all the time and energy you put into your work, just my opinion.

FSX CAF F-35A, n. 409 Squadron. Fictional repaint for payware Lightning II by Dino Cattaneo. The 409 Nighthawk Squadron is an air force unit of the Canadian Forces, operating new F-35A at CFB Cold Lake. By Luigi Martinelli.[/SIZE]


From CAF 440Sq Vampire018 Thank you [SIZE=-1]Luigi for this wonderful paint:salute:
[/SIZE]
 
Thanks to CG 1976
Super nice 409 Sqdn repaint

Planning for the 65 x CF-35 are :

24 x to be located at Bagotville, Quebec ( 425 Alouette Squadron )
24 x to be located at Cold Lake, Alberta ( 409 Nighthawks Squadron )
and
17 x to be located at Cold lake, Alberta for training purposes
( 410 Cougar Squadron )

Do you plan modified versions of your repaint for 410 and 425 Squadrons ?
:applause:

right now I'm struggling with the texture thunderbirds ...

after this will most likely upload the paintkit ... :ernae:

The IDF has the real one on order now. They will actually be the first Air Force in the world to put the F-35A into service just a short time before the USAF does. Many components will be built in both the US and Israel but the assembly of the IDF F-35's will take place in Israel at a new facility at IAI. It will also feature new cutting edge ELTA and Elbit avionics as opposed to US technology.

Are you sure about the Israeli F-35's being assembled in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place> with local avionics? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
The sources I have read mention that the initial 20 Israeli F-35 will represent standard F-35A models build in the US. However, the F-35I acquisition agreement is opening opportunities for the installation of Israeli systems in future production batches if <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place> chooses to buy additional aircraft.

@ strikerpsg

Sorry for the late reply - Well, I wish flight simulation to be my paying job...but, in truth, my real life job as mechanical engineer (btw I work for a company that makes electronic components also for military avionics) is much more profitable.

Also, if you want to be a professional, you should design the planes that people want, rather than the one you like... F-35, for example, may not have been the best choice.

@ All

Unfortunately I have to freeze all my FSX activities for a while. Hopefully I will be back in a couple of weeks.

Very sure of it. My source was Lockheed Martin and IAI both made the joint statement on US TV. From what they said, major structural components will be totally US made but shipped to and then assembled by IAI in Israel. I know someone directly involved in the Logistical Support Planning of this.
