Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II 1/48

About the Model • This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. • The distinctive fuselage form of the F-35C – which has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower landings – is authentically captured in style. The model is assembled parked. • Fuselage parts are newly molded excluding canopy and weapons bay doors parts. • Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are molded into fuselage surfaces. • Choose parts to recreate: - Deployed or folded wingtips (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.) - Deployed or stowed air fuel probe on the right side of nose - Open or closed arresting hook door - Open or closed canopy (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.) - Open or closed weapons bay doors - Deployed or stowed boarding ladder • Leading-edge and trailing-edge control surfaces are depicted down. Parts to render wheel chocks are also included. • Features realistic renderings of pylons (F-35C"s dedicated design) under wings and lower fuselage gun pod. (The gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers.) • This kit also features realistic renderings of the following sections: - Nose undersurface side details - Y- shaped air intakes - Weapons bay inside details including depictions of wiring - Cockpit and landing gear bays - Engine nozzle (5-piece design) - Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat - RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections (two for each, four in total) during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises • Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance). • Includes various kinds of ordnance: AIM-9X Sidewinder x2, AIM-120C AMRAAM x2, GBU-12 Paveway II x4, and GBU-31 JDAM x2. • Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included. • Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (4 from United States Navy and 2 from United States Marine Corps.).
