So it would still be the X-35, right?

I have a few photos from Edwards:

As Ralph and I stated, the photos that you posted are of a full scale mock-up
of the F-35 CTOL, not one of the two X-35 that were built as part of the JSF
competition. Or in the words of Monty Python " It's only a model". While it is
very close to what the F-35 lines are at this time, there have been some changes
from when it was finished; May of this year. There is another full-scale mock-up
that Lockheed Martin Aero has been showing for several years, but this one is
more up to date.
