About this kit

The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious 5th Generation aircraft that aims to meet the needs of different U.S. service arms via three different variants. Our model kits of the A and B variants have proven to be model fan favorites since their introduction in 2022 and 2023, respectively. We now complete the variant journey with this model assembly kit which recreates the F-35C. About the F-35C The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapult-assisted take-off, barrier arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wingtip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload. • 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 close 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.) • Features realistic renderings of the following sections: - Nose undersurface…
