F-35A "Blue Splitter" 11-5022 65 AGRS 57 WG USAF (what if scheme) in 1:72 scale

The Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II "Blue Splitter", serial 11-5022, is a fictional "what-if" aggressor scheme depicting an aircraft assigned to the 65th Aggressor Squadron (65 AGRS) of the 57th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base. Inspired by concepts for threat-representative camouflage, the striking blue and gray angular pattern is designed to mimic the appearance of advanced potential adversary fighters while providing a distinctive visual identity during training exercises. Although this exact paint scheme has never been applied to an operational F-35A, it is based on the real-world mission of the 65 AGRS, the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated F-35 aggressor squadron, which uses early-production F-35As to simulate fifth-generation opponents during Red Flag and Weapons School exercises. The "Blue Splitter" concept has become a popular subject among aviation artists and diecast model collectors for its bold, eye-catching appearance and imaginative take on modern aggressor camouflage.
