F-35A Skinning Contest

[serverandenforcer 33]

Just as an FYI to the folks doing the exported versions of the F-35, the gold parts on the laser chin pod should be grayed out to simulate the fact that they are not a functional part of the aircraft. From my understanding, the exported versions of the F-35 will not have those avionics but will keep the external pod (empty of course) - with the gold glass lens replaced with a solid/non transparent covering. It's kind of a stripped down version of the U.S. setup. I might be wrong on that, but that's from what I've heard. However, it is possible that the the countries that will receive the exported version can possibly, install their own laser targeting system in the chin pod, or just install a seperate pod on a wing pylon. This will probably reduce the stealthiness of the aircraft, but I don't see the U.S. give other countries, even if they are strong allies, stealth capable aircraft without removing a few things here and there to reduce it's stealth effectiveness so that it's not on par to our own.

To be honest that probably comes under the heading of Government Furnished Equipment, i.e. stuff that's added to the aircraft on receipt from the manufacturer, often due to it's security rating etc. Fitting a laser designator in the chin pod shouldn't be a problem for any of the top tier partners.
