About The Model
  • This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 182mm, fuselage length: 218mm
  • The distinctive fuselage form of the F-35C – which has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower aircraft carrier landings – is captured in style
  • Choose one of the two assembly options: extended or folded wingtips
  • There is plenty of detail showcased on the wing hinges
  • Features newly moulded parts to recreate the reinforced nose landing gear with dual tires and rigid main landing gear, and tyres
  • The newly moulded distinctive nose landing gear bay has realistic renderings of details such as ribs and pipes
  • Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are moulded into fuselage surfaces
  • Features a realistic rendering of the lower fuselage gun pod (the gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers)
  • This kit also features realistic renderings of the following sections:
- Y- shaped air intake duct for highly advanced stealth characteristics
- Cockpit and landing gear bays
- Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat
- Engine nozzle (1-piece)
- RCS (radar cross-section) enhancers affixed to top during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises
  • Clear parts recreate canopy and Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) fairing under the nose
  • Includes parts to recreate AIM-9X Sidewinder x
  • Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included
  • Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (3 from United States Navy and 3 from United States Marine Corps)
