Description
I almost wanted to call this image the "fatman" because of the bulky look that makes you amazed that it actually flies, but hey this is the Marines F-35B with VTOL capability, and I liked the thick lines on the body, almost like muscles. I hope you like this work regardless of what you think about the jet.ΒRelated content

Ah, the billion-dollar paperweight. What a POS plane. Great art though, well done!

just a quick question, What is it with people calling the F-35 "Fat Man". I mean I don't get the reference.

you got a point there. It is a kinda stocky looking jet, even in person it looks rather bulking. I just thought that you were referencing something like a article or someone else art that's all. thanks for the explanation though. Β

They train the pilots for these, along with the first classes of Israeli and English F-35 pilots, just down the road from my home town at Eglin Air Force Base. Personally not too fond of it, but for the Marines, it provides a vast improvement over the old AV-8B.

Harrier certainly looked better and had more character.

Nice, particularly the very organic changes of colour.
I have a particular love of watching the main engine exhaust nozzle transitioning between forward flight and VL mode and back.

F-35 is ugly on some angles, sleek on other angles. I think you've captured quite well the sleekness of this flying brick

you do such beautiful work, the Lightning II's in this pic look really life like.

The plane is a great concept, but it's execution is horrible. There was way too much money put into this program, so much so that the cost would probably outweigh the benefits. I mean, I love everything about this plane, except for the way it is implemented into the military.
Still, this is just an awesome pic. I'd love to see more F-35s, but I'm always in awe with the pictures you make, no matter what it is. Keep up the great work!

Total hate for the F-35 for one simple reason:
They stopped producing the F-22 for THIS turkey?! Are you kidding me?!
As a fighter, it's far inferior to the F-22. Slower, less maneuverable, the works.
As ground support, it's far inferior to the A-10 (armor over thin-skinned stealth against ground fire please).
Finally, after all is said and done, its per-unit flyaway is quickly approaching that of the Raptor anyway, which was cited as being too expensive.
That the F-22 doesn't really have all that much of a mission because nobody fields an air force while F-15s, 16s, and 18s can take care of all air-to-ground is a *good* thing.
There was no need to create this attempt to please everyone and get an overcosted thin-skinned stealth missile truck.

Tell you what; land an F-22 with a 100 foot roll-out from "weight on wheels" to stationary, then we'll talk.
Off-topic, but I like your signature.
