Lockheed Martin F-35A, TFMGAC
5th generation multirole warfighter
A F-35 bought from Lockheed Martin by the Tactical Forces Military's Global Air Combat branch, intended to replace the F-16G Mamba Viper.
Though seen as a potential successor to the F-16 and F-15, extensive performance tests have shown that the F-35 does not reach the needed criteria of TFM Central Command's requirement for an effective stealth multirole fighter; mainly due to it's lack of internal hardpoints to carry more ordnance without compromising stealth with external attachments.
As such, the F-16G and F-15G remain in full service without any plan of being retired anytime soon.
Only four F-35As have been purchased, and with Central Command deciding that they will not be returned to the United States anymore, the fighters remain in closed storage and are only brought out on orders.

@ReinMcDeer - F-35A template
very sad it won't see action but you are right
flying w only 4 stores in it's internal bay does not seem promising
Beautiful! Might wanna add the cockpit for this bad guy later on (the stock variant, for my RD Cockpits collection)
