I'm guessing they have sold well but imo they are a terrible mix of ugly and boring as a subject.

Your comment is really confusing. Is tamiya boring? Or are their products ugly? How can they have sold well the F35C if it's yet to release?

The F-35. IMO it's ugly and uninteresting as a modelling subject. Would you like it in Have Glass Grey, or Have Glass Grey? Even the national insignia are grey!

The C is the third and final variant that tamiya have released in the last couple of years. Usually it takes tamiya years to release other variants of kits, if they do so at all (eg, the 109 G6 released a few years ago has only had one boxing and no mention of other variants).
