About this item

Extremely Realistic Scale Model Jet The Tamiya 1/48 Lockheed Martin F-35 B Lightning II Model Airplane Kit is designed after one of the most technologically advanced fighter jets ever made. The F-35 first took flight under the A variant back in 2006, while the B variant was introduced in July of 2015. This variant, used by the U.S Marine Corps, is designated as STOVL or Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing. Tamiya has faithfully recreated this jet into one of the most detailed STOVL models made. About the F-35 B Attention To Detail On first looks at the completed model, modelers will love the scale panel lines and rivet holes found all over the model. This model can be built in one of three positions; Parked, Short Take-Off, or Vertical Landing. The detailed components and tubing around the turbine and within the bomb bays add to the scale presence this model gives. <
