Product Description
- Developed as a fifth-generation fighter jet with excellent stealth capabilities, the F-35 Lightning II was developed in three versions simultaneously: a conventional landing type (F-35A), a short takeoff and vertical landing type (F-35B), and a carrier-based type (F-35C). They have been deployed primarily by the U.S. military since 2015.
- Among them, the F-35C, developed as a carrier-based aircraft, has larger wing, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizer areas compared to the F-35A and F-35B in order to improve takeoff and landing performance on aircraft carriers, and also has an increased range.
- It features details typical of naval aircraft, such as reinforced landing struts to withstand hard landings on the flight deck, nose landing gear equipped with a launch bar for catapult launch, and a folding wingtip mechanism for operation on the narrow space on board a ship.
- The U.S. Navy's first anti-radar, stealthy F-35C aircraft will significantly improve its operational capabilities.
- As of 2024, the F-35C is deployed to six operational squadrons of the Navy and Marine Corps, and the number of them will gradually increase in the future, and the day will soon come when they will fill all the flight decks.
- All major types of F-35, A, B and C models are available.
- Following on from the [1/48 F-35A] and [1/48 F-35B], which serve as the flagship of Tamiya's airplane models and combine a high level of reproduction, precision, and ease of assembly, the carrier-based F-35C has now been added to the 1/48 Masterpiece Aircraft Series.
- In addition to being designed with consideration given to reliable assembly, the exterior parts of the aircraft, which have undergone major changes from the A and B types, have been completely redesigned and faithfully reproduced.
- It is packed with the charms unique to carrier-based aircraft, such as thick, sturdy landing gear struts, arresting hooks, and folding wing tips.
