This model kit faithfully recreates the bleeding edge airframe of the F-35B Lightning II. The fighter has three variants: the multi-role fighter F-35A, the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the carrier-capable F-35C. This 1/72 scale model was manufactured by Italeri in 2019 and now joins the Tamiya 1/72 scale War Bird Series with the addition of Tamiya materials and parts. New packaging and instruction manual designed by Tamiya, plus a brand-new Tamiya figure and decals for markings and panel lines. Parts are included to recreate ordnance such as AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, plus a missile troley. Choose between open and closed canopy parts. Aircraft and ordnance parts are a product of Italeri. 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit.
