TAMIYA 1/72 F-35A LIGHTNING II

The F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation fighter developed with the versatility to perform a number of roles. It combines extremely low observability with exemplary network connectivity and numerous sensors providing a wealth of situational information to its pilot. Three types of F-35 exist at the time of writing. Among them is the F-35A, which is deployed by various countries' air arms including the U.S. Air Force and the Japan Air Self Defense Force. This aircraft - dubbed a "game changer" by maker Lockheed Martin - now joins the extensive Tamiya 1/72 scale War Bird Collection!

This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length: 218mm, wingspan: 148mm. The low observability form of the F-35A is faithfully captured, with a dedicated parts breakdown for this 1/72 scale model. Features finely molded depictions of the radar absorbent material (RAM) coating sections. Cockpit and landing gear bay depictions are a particular highlight. The model can be assembled in "Beast Mode" with a full complement of ordnance. Choose whether to assemble with the canopy open or closed. Comes with a pilot figure and three marking options. Choose an open or closed canopy. The EOTS sensor fairing is molded as a clear component.

A full complement of ordnance includes depictions of AIM-9X Sidewinders and GBU-12 Paveway II bombs. in The nose landing gear bay features excellent detail including internal ribs and sidewall boxes. Compared with its 1/48 scale cousin in the Tamiya line-up, this model's nozze uses only a third of the number of parts yet still achieves a crisp finish. Super-fine depictions of the RAM coatings on the fuselage are a real highlight. Choose whether to assemble with radar cross section (RCS) enhancers, which are used in training exercises. A full color marking guide will prove invaluable during assembly. Choose between one U.S. and two Japanese aircraft marking options. A highly comprehensive decal sheet and a set of masking stickers are included.
