About this deal

Take a look at the F-35A in "Beast mode," with ordnance attached to all six of the weapons stations on the belly of the aircraft. The main wheels/tires are comprised of halves while the nose wheel is a single piece. All have a flattened area simulating weight; nice. The gear doors and hinges/actuators are all nicely molded and free of flash. Instructions are provided for placing the many decals that adorn the outer faces of the gear doors, which will look very convincing.

This image of unpainted parts with Tamiya panel line accent color applied shows how RAM coating patterns are depicted on the model. Choose from open or closed weapons bay covers and canopy (the latter is interchangeable), up or down flaps, and extended or retracted boarding ladder.

After completing the internal bomb bay the builder is directed to assemble the wing hard points (3 per side) and the associated ordinance, which includes four GBU-12 Paveway II guided bombs and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. As with the AIM-120 missiles, detailed painting and decalling instructions are provided. The drag chute container unique to the Royal Norwegian Air Force marking option is recreated using a separately molded part. The kit includes a pilot figure with HMD and ejection seat. This image shows parts unpainted with Tamiya panel line accent color applied. Aircraft and ordnance parts are a product of Italeri. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete. The internal bomb bay can be posed open or closed. It seems a shame to pose it closed given the all the amazing detail provided here. This is a very nice piece of molding that will look awesome under paint and a wash. Like the gear doors, the bomb bay doors are nicely molded with well detailed hinges and actuators should you choose the open option. Two nicely molded AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles are provided for the bomb bay. Painting and decalling (3 per missile) instructions are provided.

The F-35's maiden flight was in December 2006, and deployment with air arms in the U.S., Italy, Japan and more is planned, qualities such as their highly advanced stealth characteristics and network connectivity set them apart from earlier fighters. This kit can be-assembled with one choice of the three ordnance patterns – stealth mode, air-to-air mode, and beast mode. Ordnance parts can be-attached under wing.Multiple sensors are at the heart of its advanced capabilities, and the wealth of data harvested is shared via multifunction advanced data link, Full-size color documentation is included to explain the depiction of RAM coatings, stencils and U.S. Air Force aircraft.

Fuselage weapons bay doors can be assembled open or closed; if open, they display detailed depictions of various cables and lines. This video runs through the model's unit-based assembly and gives a taste of the superlative fit on offer.

RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections (two for each, four in total) during basic training exercises The intake trunks are comprised of multiple parts but it appears the seams have been efficiently hidden by some clever engineering. Once the trunks are installed, the main gear and wells are assembled and glued into the bottom halve of the fuselage, and the fuselage halves are joined together. Parts are included to build up separate open and closed canopy units, which can then be swapped in and out after assembly. Powerplant: 1 × Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 after burning turbofan, 28,000 lbf (120 kN) thrust dry, 43,000 lbf (190 kN) with afterburner. across these three variants, the F-35 can accomplish various missions without impacting upon its observability and exemplary maneueverability.
