Product Description

The unique mechanics of the latest fighter jet are reproduced in detail in 1/48 scale
This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces in detail in 1/48 scale the F-35B Lightning II, the latest cutting-edge jet fighter that is being deployed in countries around the world.

[About the actual machine]
The F-35 Lightning II is a new fifth-generation stealth fighter born from the American Joint Strike Fighter program.
It employs cutting-edge high-tech systems and materials, giving it high stealth capabilities.
There are three types of aircraft made to suit different applications: the F-35A for conventional takeoff and landing, the F-35B for short takeoff and vertical landing, and the F-35C for aircraft carrier deployment.
Among them, the distinctive F-35B was developed for the United States Marine Corps and is being deployed as a successor to the Harrier.
The aircraft is equipped with one Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan engine.
The F-35B is characterized by the use of a axially driven lift fan system to ensure V/STOL capability, in combination with an exhaust nozzle that deflects thrust downward.
Its first flight was in 2008, and it began operations in 2015.

[About the model]
This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the F-35 Lightning II, the cutting-edge jet fighter that has emerged as a fifth-generation fighter and is beginning to be deployed in countries around the world.
The F-35B type, capable of short takeoff and vertical landing, is modeled with a finished length of 326mm.
Reproduces the appearance and mechanism of the latest model.
The mechanism of the distinctive axially driven lift fan duct from the engine section inside the aircraft is also realistically reproduced.
Additionally, the engine nozzle at the rear of the aircraft is available in both normal and downward deflection states.
You can choose and assemble it.
