A Singular Concept! The most technologically advanced modern fighter on the planet is finally available in the legendary 1/48 Aircraft Series. Thanks to extensive research, the A variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II comes to modellers workbenches. The F-35 — variant A for the Air Force, B for the Marines and C for the Navy — developed under the Joint Strike Fighter Program (JSF) and is seen as one of the fifth-generation fighters. These aircraft possess highly advanced stealth characteristics and network connectivity, plus superior situational awareness provided by numerous integrated sensors. The F-35 Lightning II was first delivered in 2015, and deployment of over 3,000 F-35s is planned around the world. Inheriting the Lightning appellation from the famed P-38, the F-35 will lead worldwide air arms for years to come.

This kit can be assembled with one choice of three ordnance patterns — stealth mode, air-to-air mode, and beast mode. Ordnance parts can be attached under wing. Choose from open or closed weapons bay covers and canopy (the latter is interchangeable), up or down flaps, and extended or retracted boarding ladder.
