Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning IIPhoto credit tamiya 61125 (US Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Peter Burghart)Here is the faithful and hyper-detailed replica of another spectacular version of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, the F-35B , the first combat aircraft capable of both short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) and supersonic flight. Like the F-35A (61124) with conventional takeoff and landing, the F-35B comes from the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, an ambitious concept which aimed to replace with a single aircraft various types in service in the three branches of the forces American armies: a stealthy and hyper-connected fifth-generation fighter. The F-35B shares 70% of the design of the F-35A from which it differs mainly by its mode of propulsion with a counter-rotating fan 1.3m in diameter located behind the cockpit and driven by a shaft engaged on the reactor turbine. Powered by air taken from the reactor, a nozzle under each wing controls roll and provides additional lift. The reactor nozzle can rotate from 0 degrees (horizontal thrust) to 95 degrees down (5 degrees forward). It is oriented diagonally for short takeoffs and vertically for vertical landings and hovering. The F-35B can carry up to 454kg in each of the two fuselage weapons bays. Six under-wing hardpoints can be used for other armaments. When all six are used, it is called a “Beast Mode” configuration. Capable of operating from land bases or from ships, the F-35B is in service with the US Marine Corps as well as the British, Japanese and Italian naval air forces. • 1/48 scale assembly kit. • Complex stealthy shapes of the fuselage and flight surfaces faithfully reproduced with all the details in relief or hollow. • The model can be assembled with three situations to choose from: parked, short takeoff or vertical landing. • For these three situations, numerous mounting options. See the table below.• Three possible weapon configurations: stealth (arming in bays only), air-to-air and "Beast Mode".• Meticulously detailed cockpit, landing gear bays and weapons bays.• Finely reproduced Martin Baker US16E ejection seat and pilot figure at the controls included. • Display stand included to showcase the aircraft landing vertically. • Various armaments included: AIM-9X Sidewinder x2, AIM-120C AMRAAM x2, GBU-12 Paveway II x4, GBU-32 JDAM x2 • Super decal sheet with markings for seven different aircraft of three nationalities (US Marine Corps, Royal Air Force, Italy).
