100% NEW MOULDS – SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 4 VERSIONS – PARTS FOR ”BEAST MODE” CONFIGURATION – NEW DIE-CUT MASKS STICKERS SHEET FOR RAM PANELINGS FIGURES NOT INCLUDED The JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program was established to develop a new fifth-generation, all-weather, multi-role fighter capable of serving as a viable replacement for ground attack aircraft of the United States and NATO countries. From this project emerged the single-seat Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft. Equipped with extraordinary technology, it is characterized by the adoption of an aerodynamic layout, featuring stealth capabilities and a trapezoidal wing design. Designed to perform missions of air superiority, close air support, and ground attack, its airframe can be configured in various setups. The F-35A operates from conventional runways, the F-35B is designed for vertical take-off and landing, and the F-35C is ideal for deployment from conventional aircraft carriers. More specifically, the F-35C is distinguished by its folding wingtips to optimize onboard storage operations, a rear arrestor hook, and a reinforced frontal gear suitable for catapult launch systems on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers. 1469 – Scale 1 : 72 F-35C Lightning II ”CATOBAR version” Type Fighter aircrafts Period Modern Country United States SKILL 5 Model Dim. 22,2 cm
