The Lockheed Martin F‑35C Lightning II is a modern carrier‑based fighter, reproduced by Tamiya in 1:72 scale, aimed at modelers seeking both detail and naval operational realism.
The F‑35C variant features enlarged wings with foldable wingtips for carrier storage, reinforced landing gear designed for catapult launches and arrested landings, and robust horizontal stabilizers.
The exterior surfaces include realistic Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) paneling, air intake detailing, an extended nose with an air refueling probe.
Multiple build options allow you to represent the aircraft with wings extended or folded, with full ordnance or in stealth mode, and canopy open or closed.
Perfect for enthusiasts who want to recreate realistic naval aviation scenarios, the kit includes several marking options for the US Navy and Marines, weapons load‑outs, and is ideal for display or collection.
