Overview

The F-35B Lightning II is the innovative Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant of the world’s most advanced stealth fighter. Designed to succeed the AV-8B Harrier, the F-35B combines extremely low observability with cutting-edge sensor technology. Its revolutionary lift fan and swivelling engine nozzle allow it to operate from aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, providing unparalleled capability to forces like the USMC and Royal Navy.

This 1/48 scale Tamiya kit is a definitive replica based on extensive research of the real aircraft. It offers incredible versatility, allowing the modeller to choose one of three build modes: parked, short takeoff, or vertical landing. Featuring finely moulded RAM panel details, a full weapons loadout for “beast mode,” a detailed cockpit, and seven marking options, this is a truly comprehensive modelling experience.
