Lockheed F-35 C Lightning II Overview

Tamiya's model kits of the A and B variants have proven to be model fan favorites since their introduction in 2022 and 2023, respectively. 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.

Features

  • 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 wingtips, nose, and canopy.
  • 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.
  • Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included.
  • Features realistic renderings of the undersurface, air intakes, and cockpit.
  • RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections (two for each, four in total) during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises.
  • Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance).
  • Includes various kinds of ordnance.
  • Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (4 from United States Navy and 2 from United States Marine Corps.)
