It can not stand on the stand

Love the product but too small. I would like a product worth looking at. Just like this but approximately shoe box size. I’m still looking for one approximately 10 to 12 inches in size and not matchbox size. Please advise me if you have o e this size.

It’s really a nice thing to have with good quality. Just be careful with the packaging not to break it as it seems a bit fragile.

Nothing really “blew” me away about this model. It has great detail and a nice weight to it. I would recommend it.

I very much like this tiny F-35 model (it’s smaller by my hand, by a good bit!) and it goes really well with my YF-22 model, but i dislike how there are missiles/bombs on the hardpoints and how the text on the box leads you to believe F-35s regularly do this. In reality you will almost NEVER find a F-35 with the hardpoints attached and with weapons on them. The USAF paid $100 million for the plane, mostly for its stealth and electronic warfare, but putting weapons on hardpoints defeats the whole purpose of stealth and takes that 5th gen $100 mil plane into a $20 million, subpar 4th gen plane. It’d be great if they were removable but i mean it’s still a great model and i love it very much

2 things keep this from being a 5 star review:
1. I broke one of the tail fins trying to remove the jet from its plastic packaging. My advice is to NOT grab it by the tail fin to pull it out. Instead, trying gently bending the packaging away from the jet until part of it pops loose.
2. This model isn’t completely accurate. The F-35 has a concealed weapons bay to store missiles and bombs. Having armaments mounted on the wings defeats its stealth capabilities. If I was an expert model builder I would take the weapons from this model and glue them to one of the “unarmed” Daron F-15s or F-16s I’ve purchased.
It’s a small criticism. These models have nice details, and they are ready to display. It looks cool, and is a great value!
There is a new Daron F-16 due out soon, and it has missiles mounted on its wings!
Thanks!

Sadly I had one of the pieces snap right off while unboxing. I’ve also had this happen with another one of their products in the past. I think they’re all pretty fragile and the fault probably lies in my handing as well as the glue used.
Overall really great product

This F-35 diecast is a decent overall model. It’s metal body has some weight to it and its overall detail is decent for its scale. But the model is very tiny indeed. It’s also fragile and the product’s stand is cheap plastic that barely supports its heavy structure. And compared to the B-2 bomber and F-22 fighter I purchased recently, this F-35 is the most expensive and the smallest of the trio. So, at the end of the day, it’s a decent model but simply not worth the price in my opinion.

Great model HORRIBLE STAND
The holes in base of plane to attach stand are too small, I broke 2 of the models trying put a stand on them, nice model lousy stand.

El producto es lo que esperaba, cómo punto en contra es que los alerones están un poco frágiles, hay que sacar el avión de su caja con cuidado. Otro punto negativo pero no es del producto sino se Amazon es que tuve que pedirlo tres veces porque las primeras veces me cancelaban el envío. Llamaba y decían que se había dañado pero no era eso. Ellos no querían entregarlo en mi área. Mejor lo pedi por recolección. Pésimo servicio Amazon.
