A USAF F35 Lightning II performing during the Lightning demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was an awesome demo, it was cut short however due to technical problems. A warning light came on and the pilot had to land. That said she put on a good show, didn't hold back, and she nearly broke the sound barrier.
5 Exposures and dynamic layering and luminosity masking created this effect. Run through photomatix of course.

Ever since I build the Vampire, I've always felt it wasn't quite finished yet. So in an attempt to carve out the best iteration of this model, I've made significant changes to the engine nozzles, giving them a more modern look in favor of the conventional-looking thrusters of the Vampire and making them flow better with the rest of the fuselage. I also went for a more 'sexy' paint job to somewhat enhance the general look of the model.
Another motivator to keep hacking away at this particular model was a remark Nick Trotta made when visiting me, something in the vain of it looking better in real life than it did on the post.
All in all I think I'm quite happy with the result. Expect some more images in the coming days. I also made a completely black version (which looks badass) which I'll post at a later date, along with the usual LDD files.
