A Game-Changer

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!

Packaging

★Extensive research by Tamiya's designers ensures that this is a highly accurate kit. It has a dedicated parts breakdown for this scale.

★Choose an open or closed canopy. The EOTS sensor fairing is molded as a clear component.

★A busy cockpit offers a detailed finish even in this scale, with depictions of the LCD display and ejection seat.

★A seated pilot figure with helmet mounted display (HMD) is included in the kit.

★A full complement of ordnance includes depictions of AIM-9X Sidewinders and GBU-12 Paveway II bombs.

★This image shows the model assembled in "stealth mode," with no external ordnance. The model depicts closed weapons bay doors only.

★When assembled in "air-to-air" mode, the model features underwing AIM-9X Sidewinders.

★With weapons on all of the underwing stations, "beast mode" is an impressive sight.

★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.
