    Cutting-Edge Aircraft

    Fighter jets have continued to develop since they were first seen in
    late WWII, to the point where modern day aircraft such as the F-35
    Lightning II and F-22 Raptor are often called "fifth generation"
    fighters; qualities such as their highly advanced stealth
    characteristics and network connectivity set them apart from earlier
    fighters. Developed under the Joint Strike Fighter Program (JSF), the
    F-35 integrates multiple functions into its design and there are three
    types at the time of writing: the F-35A conventional take-off and
    landing (CTOL) aircraft, the F-35B short take-off, vertical landing
    (STOVL), and the F-35C, with its larger wing and tail; across these
    three variants, the F-35 can accomplish various missions without
    impacting upon its observability and exemplary maneueverability.
    Multiple sensors are at the heart of its advanced capabilities, and the
    wealth of data harvested is shared via multifunction advanced data link,
    helping provide the crew with outstanding information via a large
    cockpit display and the helmet-mounted display system. The F-35's maiden
    flight was in December 2006, and deployment with air arms in the U.S.,
    Italy, Japan and more is planned, as the aircraft appears set to take on
    a major role in the defense landscape in years to come.

    About the Model

    ★This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length:
    326mm, wingspan: 222mm. ★Features refined molded depictions of radar
    absorbent material (RAM) sections on the surface. ★Highly accurate
    renderings of the internal Y-shaped air intake ducts. ★Choose between
    open and closed weapons bays. ★Parts are included to build up separate
    open and closed canopy units, which can then be swapped in and out after
    assembly. ★Build with the boarding ladder retracted or extended. ★The
    engine nozzle is broken down into five separate pieces, for a crisp
    look. ★Plenty of detail is on show across the model, with highlights
    such as the cockpit and landing bay interiors. ★Parts are included for
    the recreation of AIM-9X and AIM-120C missiles, plus GBU-12 and GBU-31
    JDAM bombs. ★Comes with a pilot figure depicted with helmet mounted
    display (HMD). ★Choose between the 9 marking options supplied. Masking
    stickers for the canopy are also included. 

    ★Painstaking research provides the backbone for this accurate assembly kit of the highly impressive F-35A Lightning II.
     

    ★The model can be assembled with different ordnance patterns: choose from stealth, air-to-air and "beast" mode configurations.
     

    ★Marking options cover aircraft with earlier (use of lighter gray around
    panel lines) and later (mostly dark gray) spec paint schemes.
     

    ★This image of unpainted parts with Tamiya panel line accent color
    applied shows how RAM coating patterns are depicted on the model.
     

    ★Take a look at the F-35A in "Beast mode," with ordnance attached to all
    six of the weapons stations on the belly of the aircraft. 

    ★Fuselage weapons bay doors can be assembled open or closed; if open,
    they display detailed depictions of various cables and lines.
     

    ★This picture is of the model with closed weapons bay doors, showing off the stunning detail achieved on the underbelly.
     

    ★Exceptional detail is also on display inside the front landing gear bay. The EOTS sensor fairing is recreated in clear plastic.
     

    ★The canopy can be depicted open or closed, while parts for extended and
    retracted boarding ladders are included. Choices, choices...
     

    ★Dedicated open and closed canopy parts can be switched in and out after
    completion. They come molded with a tint to save a paint job.
     

    ★The kit includes a pilot figure with HMD and ejection seat. This image
    shows parts unpainted with Tamiya panel line accent color applied.
     

    ★Plenty of realism is on display in the busy cockpit area. This image
