Anybody know where I can find a F-35 Lightning model?

The only company that I'm aware of that's building an F-35 Lighting II would be Franklin Mint in 1:48 scale. Still in production though so I don't have any pics.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Any idea of the best F/A-18 Hornet 1:200 models?

If you are looking at 1:200 scale, your best bet would probably be the Hogan M-series. They are diecast metal. Here you can see the entire back row of F-18s, I believe they are superhornets for the time being.

I saw a pre-production picture of them working on an F-18C.

I haven't collected these models yet and I'm not going to since I personally say 1:200 military jets are far too small. Sure it may fit with the rest of a person's collection of 1:200 scale, but I say for its price you can buy a decent 1:72 scale plane. This is the scale I choose for military jets. If you are interested in that, you should check out these companies rank from the best to lowest: Century Wings, Hobby Masters, Dragon Wings, and Witty Wings. There are other companies but I like these 4 the best.

If you are curious, most people would say the best F-18 is made by Dragon Wings in 1:72 scale.

Are you looking for a regular Hornet or a superhornet?

Edit: I see you are in Australia, so to save on cost of shipping, you should order from your country. You can visit mibglobal.com and check out their selections.

What kind of cost are you looking for, because if you go the cheap way then look at FURUTA line of planes. The F-35 is there along with the F-18.
