flightglobal.com obtained exclusive photographs of the first F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) as it emerged from the paint shop at Fort Worth, Texas ready for its formal roll-out and naming later today.

That's nice.
(it would seem the images look awfully pixelated in the post - view them separately for a more clear view.)

Wow, very nice, thanks OP! I like the "F-35" logo on the vert stabs.

The paint scheme remotely reminds me of the Razgriz schemes from Ace Combat 05. But yes, the scheme... sucks. Is there a reason for the white nose?
Peace through superior firepower.

It's the radome...I suspect the paint they want to use has not yet been qualified. Painting radomes is a very tricky business. Lot's of energy passes through there.
