Airfix Starter Set A55010 Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II

Bought this as a gift for a friend. Arrived quickly and they were super happy with it. Excellent quality gift

Bought as a present for my son. He loves building Airfix models. A well designed scaled model with easy to follow instructions. Great value for money. This model was completed fairly quickly by my son who now has some experience with these beginner models. Will look to get a more complex model next time.

Nice little model for the price but supplied paints are not great. Typical easy to follow instructions from Airfix.

good detail on the model, the pieces fit together quite nice and I enjoyed the time I spent making it.

Great starter kit for our kids. Minimal supervision and assistance required to build and paint these for 10-12 years old. Nice mouldings with clear details.

Decent enough starter set for beginners. Very well fitting parts but the paints were terrible. All but one was dried solid with the remainder just about salvageable with thinners. Check online for a correct colour guide as the one on the back of the box is basic at best.

I found that this kit was clearly very easy to follow through the instructions and is a subject I would recommend and makes a complete model on a stand

Received the kit yesterday afternoon by 7 that night after putting together and painting all done , the only trouble is some of the transfers are a bit tricky, but that's transfers for you .

Nice for a starter kit.

I was incredibly skeptical about getting this kit now in 2026 but I searched the model kit on scalemates and was able to figure out the paints at a minimum should have a very low chance of dryness. I got the kit and all paints are good just need to slap them into some little paint dishes and add a little water or thinner and works like a charm. The kit was very easy to put together and I was impressed with the kit including not only instructions but also, including recommendations for items needed for the kit like pegs to keep parts together for glueing which is very helpful along with tape. The fit and detail are perfectly fine considering it’s an air fix kit. I enjoyed building this and as a military retiree it’s very much good for the soul if you need something to help you unwind.

Nice model kit. I'm 53 and hadn't built model since I was a kid and felt the urge to build one. This one came with everything you'd need except a hobby knife, it have plenty of those. Was a fun build. I still need to put on the decals, but my lack of patience eventually won out. Maybe some day.
