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. - This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.- The low observability design is faithfully depicted.- Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are molded into fuselage surfaces.- Separate assemblies of folded and extended wingtips can be interchanged after assembly.- Choose deployed or retracted fuel probe.- Flaps are depicted down for an accurate parked aircraft.- The F-35C's reinforced nose landing gear is recreated in style.- Arresting hook doors are depicted open for a parked aircraft.- Choose open or closed weapons bay doors.
