- 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. - The 3BSM (3 Bearing Swivel Module) is succinctly yet faithfully recreated with a dedicated parts breakdown for this kit. - Fine recreations of RAM (Radar Absorbent Material) are molded into fuselage surfaces. - Clear parts recreate canopy and EOTS fairing under the nose. - Includes parts for AIM-9X Sidewinder x2 and AIM-120C AMRAAM x2. - This kit also features realistic renderings of the following sections: - Y-shaped air intake duct for highly advanced stealth characteristics - Details such as cockpit, landing gear bays and roll posts - Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat - RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections during basic training exercises - One pilot figure with the helmet mounted display (HMD) - A stand is included to use if you are making a hovering model. - Comes with 5 marking options from a total of three countries (United States Marine Corps, Royal Air Force, Italian Navy).
