Tamiya 60794 1/72 Lockheed Martin F-35C Lighting II

The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapultassisted take-off barrier arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wing tip 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.

Special Features:
- Choose one of the two assembly options: extended or folded wingtips
- Features newly molded parts to recreate the reinforced nose landing gear
- Includes parts to recreate AIM-9X Sidewinder x2.
- Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (3 from United States Navy and 3 from United States Marine Corps.).
- Includes masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot fiure with HelmetMounted Display (HMD)
