paint increases RCS, the plane is not fully combat capable in this condition and would need to be recoated

The F-35 is not a pretty plane. It looks technically superior, it looks expensive, but it's not pretty. I think people here get caught up in how much of a success it has been and it gives them rose tinted glasses when it comes to aesthetics.

Japan maybe working on some sweet livery with the ram coating dyed in different colors as we speak.

The F2 is said to have some ram coating on the leading edges and a few other areas of the F2.

F-35s use a special paint that helps absorb radar waves IIRC. Also additional paint in general increases weight and can have a negative impact on aircraft performance, that's one of the reasons why military aircraft have progressively dropped camouflage paint schemes (in addition to their being made largely redundant by improvements in radar and IFF technology) over the years and opted for solid grey

NTA but the f35 is done in Europe beyond what was already ordered
The Wall Street Journal

The F-35 jet fighter helped the U.S. achieve both military air superiority and billions in trade for years. But President Trump’s recent rhetoric has forced some American allies to reconsider their reliance on the aircraft and eye European alternatives like the U.K. and EU’s Eurofighter, France’s Rafale and Sweden’s Gripen.

WSJ explores how one of the world’s most expensive weapons is at risk of losing its dominance.

The Wall Street Journal

The F35 is likley the last American jet that will ever be made at the same scale and cost because there will never be another one with the expectation of EU sales.

Holy cope. Denmark literally ordered 16 more F-35s a month after that video.
>>
>>64656856
there is no domestic competitor to the F35 and they won't be one for the next generation of jets either
euros will cuck like they always do and will continue buying american jets

Most Jap liveries(standard light grey, not the funky special ones) are best of type. F-104, F-4, F-15, all the best looking of their kind. Best grey, nice simple red rondel. Dunno what they were thinking with the turquoise on the F-2 though
>>
>>64656856
there is no alternative to F-35
there will be no EU alternative to F-35 or NGAD in the next 2 decades, FCAS being a germ-frog project makes it a dead project
whether GCAP will be a competitor to NGAD remains to be seen, US has several decades of advantage in design and operation experience
>>
>>
>>64656957
There's not really any comparison to be made between the GCAP and NGAD. GCAP is going to be more like an F-35 2: Electric Boogaloo planned to come out no earlier than 2035, while NGAD is an intercontinental monster that's in production right now at a cost 4 times greater than the F-35.
