Sorry, but I can't wait until 2012!

I'm surprised that no one didn't post any screenshot of the new F-35A JSF that came out this week, by Chuck Dome. It is a great FSDS 2 model, could be a bit better though, and have a serious problem with the air file that Chuck will have to fix - When I reach the sound barrier the aircraft spins without control and you must lower to speed to something around 500 in order to get control back. Anyway, it's worth the download.
I did (still doing actually) a repaint of this plane to Israeli colors. Just as the Israeli camo made the F-16 look even better then he is originaly, so does the F-35. It looks far more exotic.
This is how it looks for now. I mailed Chuck today to ask permission to continue with the repaint and also ask him to modify some of the parts that are essential to be changed and fixed for the Israeli colors.
What do U think?

Looks pretty good, although a second shot, maybe a forward 1/4 view would be nice.  All in all, great job so far!

Thanks everyone. I got the model at nonodes.com. Just search for F-35A, and you'll find both FS2002 and 2004 versions.
Chuck mailed me back and he agrees that I'll continue to repaint it, and will modify whatever I need. As you can see, there are some parts that still needs to be textured and weathered, but in the end they will look like the fuselage. Sorry for the horrible quality. I had to save in quality 2 in photoshop to get it here.
