mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.
Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II is a single-engine, single seater
5th Generation fighter developed with three distinct variants, each
enjoying extremely low observability and excellent connectivity: the
F-35A, F-35B and the F-35C - aircraft have been delivered since 2015.
The F-35C has larger wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizers than
other F-35 variants and folding wingtips in light of its carrier
deployment design, as well as a larger fuel capacity and a reinforced
nose landing gear with dual tires to help it withstand the punishment of
carrier landings, plus a launch bar for catapult assisted takeoffs. Its
low observability promises to give U.S. Navy operations a new
dimension.
