Product details

- This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 148mm, fuselage length: 215mm.
- The distinctive F-35B design featuring both highly advanced stealth characteristics and STOVL is authentically captured in style, with ergonomic parts breakdown.
- The kit recreates the vertical landing, and can be assembled in two ways; landed or hovering, and ensures superior assembly with dedicated angled door parts.
- The parts faithfully depict a hovering aircraft with downward engine nozzle and opened doors. (Please refer to the table on the next page.)
- Features realistic renderings of half-open two inner weapon bay doors and interior details such as ribs and pipes.
- Nose landing gear and main landing gear can be depicted as extended (for hovering) or retracted (for landed).
- The lift fan is integrated with nose landing gear bay, and the variable vane underneath is recreated in detail.
- Shorter than on the F-35A, the engine nozzle is recreated by a single part.
