The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious aircraft that aims to meet the needs of different U.S. service arms via three variants: the F-35A for the Air Force, the F-35B for the Marines, and the F-35C for the Navy. Perhaps the most adventurous of the three is the F-35B, which is intended to take the place of the AV-8B Harrier II: the lift fan positioned between the engine and the cockpit and a 3 bearing swivel module system endow the F-35B with short takeoff and vertical landing - STOVL capability in addition to its supersonic airspeed, extreme low observability and exceptional situational awareness. About the Model The extremely stealthy F-35B is recreated with great accuracy, including finely molded raised RAM sections. The aircraft is depicted with the nozzle pointing downward, either hovering or already landed. 2 different sets of landing gear parts - compressed and extended - are included. AIM-9X and AIM-120C ordnance is included. Comes with a pilot figure, stand for a hovering F-35B model, and 5 marking options.
