1:72 Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Aircraft Model Kit Tamiya 60793
Precise reproduction of the F-35B in vertical landing mode!
The F-35 Lightning II is a versatile fighter aircraft that consolidates the various tactical aircraft of the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps into a single type and its variants. The F-35B, as the most ambitious version, replaces the Marine Corps' AV-8B Harrier II. It features a lift fan between the cockpit and engine as well as a rotating nozzle for short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). Additionally, it offers supersonic flight capability, stealth, and high situational awareness through sensor fusion.
Many countries that have introduced the F-35B possess ships with flight decks. As of 2023, the United Kingdom with the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier and Italy with the light aircraft carrier Cavour will deploy the F-35B in their air and naval forces.
