Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II (1:48)

Plastic model kit for building a Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II

• Scale 1:48
• The unique shape of the F-35C and the characteristic stealth design were exactly reproduced. Likewise the enlarged wings for slow flight when landing on an aircraft carrier
• Realistically represented radar absorbs material (RAM)
• Model can be built in different status modes (folded wings, in-flight refueling, open or closed weapon bays, etc.)
• The model has particularly true-to-scale replicas of sections: weapon bay including cables, undercarriage bays, cockpit, engine, Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat (multi-part), ladder, Y-shaped air intakes, 5-part engine nozzle, RCS radar, and much more.
• Can be built in 3 different modes: stealth mode, air-to-air mode, beast mode
• Incl. seated pilot figure with helmet-mounted display (HMD)
• Transparent parts for sensor windows
• The model can be built in six different identifications: 4x U.S. Navy, 2x U.S. Marine
• Includes masking film for painting and a colored painting template
• unbuilt, unpainted
• Paint and glue not included

The F-35 is available in three versions: A for the Air Force, B for the Marines and C for the Navy. Development was carried out under the JSF program (Joint Strike Fighter Program) and the F-35 was intended to represent the fifth generation of fighter jets. The aircraft has a highly developed stealth design, a state-of-the-art network and countless sensors that provide all the data for the pilot and computer. The F-35C was developed as a successor to the F/A-18 and comes as a so-called CATOBAR (catapult assisted takeoff but arrested recovery).
