f-35

Well, yes, although the F-35 versions may seem similar, the differences are pretty big.
In terms of 3D modeling, turning my F-35A into and F-35C is the most difficult conversion as the wing is completely new and extremely difficult to blend with the existing model.

As for the F-35B I've already reshaped the fuselage so that it is close to the F-35B....the problem is the fact that each boolean operation may introduce errors...so when I split the STOVL doors (Lift fan inlet, Lift fan exhaust, RCS doors, auxiliary air intake, engine swivel) the result is less than optimal.
I will make one last attempt by reverting to older version and cut the doors in a slightly different way... I do not think it will be much better...but the F-35B is so cool (well...despite the development issues the real one is facing) that it is worth trying.
Hope you can get it fixed.
Because I would love the challenge of adding proper VTOL to such a great model :jump:....
If a non-FDE solution for it is still needed of course ....

Cheers, Rob
