Tamiya – 60793 – Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II

Description:

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a U.S. Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II multirole fighter aircraft, the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the F-35 with around one third less combustible volume due the space taken by the shaft-driven lift fan (SDLF).

The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II is a fifth-generation multirole fighter aircraft renowned for its versatility and advanced capabilities. Designed for short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL), it boasts a unique ability to operate from a wide range of platforms including aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. Equipped with advanced avionics and sensor systems, the F-35B provides unparalleled situational awareness and lethality, enabling it to excel in air-to-air combat, air-to-ground missions, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. Its stealth technology and integrated electronic warfare systems offer enhanced survivability in contested environments.
