Fra produsenten:

An Ambitious Design The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious project that aims to provide – in a single overarching design – aircraft tailored to three different services’ distinct needs; that it does in the form of the F-35A (for the Air Force), F-35B (Marines) and F-35C (Navy). Perhaps the most stunning of the three is the innovative F-35B, which was designed to succeed the AV-8B Harrier II, and is a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft thanks to a lift fan installed between the cockpit and the engine, plus the 3 Bearing Swivel Module mechanism. Rather impressively, it also manages to combine extremely low observability characteristics with exemplary situational awareness provided by the numerous sensors across the aircraft. The F-35B is expected to serve mainly from aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships; as of 2023, the British Royal Navy and the Italian Navy have started deployment, and the Japan Air Self Defense Force also expects to see F-35Bs with its units from 2024.

Packaging

 

★Tamiya designers conducted some seriously in-depth research to capture the stealthy F-35B with such accuracy.

★In short takeoff posture, the lift fan intake is open and the engine nozzle points diagonally downward.

★Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance).

 

 

★A stand is included to use if you are making a vertical landing model.

★The vertical landing model has its roll posts activated and engine nozzle pointing downward, plus two of the weapons bay doors half-open.

★Take a look at the F-35 in Beast Mode, with all its ordnance loaded!

 

★Here are the ordnance parts included in the kit.

★The lift fan interior is also depicted with accuracy, and has parts for both open and closed auxiliary duct.

★Peep inside the air intake door to see the cover for the lift fan shaft.

 

★Dedicated parts for open and closed lift fan lower doors, and for short takeoff and vertical landing louver positions.
