An Ambitious Design

The F-35® Lightning II is an ambitious project that aims to provide - in a single overarching design - aircraft tailored to three different services' distinct needs; that it does in the form of the F-35A (for the Air Force), F-35B (Marines) and F-35C (Navy). Perhaps the most stunning of the three is the innovative F-35B, which was designed to succeed the AV-8B Harrier II, and is a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft thanks to a lift fan installed between the cockpit and the engine, plus the 3 Bearing Swivel Module mechanism. Rather impressively, it also manages to combine extremely low observability characteristics with exemplary situational awareness provided by the numerous sensors across the aircraft. The F-35B is expected to serve mainly from aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships; as of 2023, the British Royal Navy and the Italian Navy have started deployment, and the Japan Air Self Defense Force also expects to see F-35Bs with its units from 2024.

About the Model
  • This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 325mm, wingspan: 222mm.
  • The model can be assembled as one of three types: parked, short takeoff and vertical landing.
  • Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are molded into fuselage surfaces.
  • Engine duct and nozzle are assembled into one of three positions depending upon the type of model chosen.
  • The engine nozzle is made up of 5 parts and gives an accurate, crisply detailed finish.
  • Parts are included for raised and lowered versions of control surfaces.
  • A stand is provided for use when assembling a vertical landing model.
  • The lift fan is integrated with the nose landing gear bay.
  • This model offers excellent fuselage interior detail.
  • A full complement of ordnance includes AIM-9X and AIM-120C missiles, plus GBU-12 and GBU-32 bombs.
  • A total of seven marking options is included, covering aircraft from three nations.

  • Tamiya designers conducted some seriously in-depth research to capture the stealthy F-35B with such accuracy.
  • In short takeoff posture, the lift fan intake is open and the engine nozzle points diagonally downward.
  • Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance).
  • A stand is included to use if you are making a vertical landing model.
  • The vertical landing model has its roll posts activated and engine nozzle pointing downward, plus two of the weapons bay doors half-open.
  • Take a look at the F-35 in Beast Mode, with all its ordnance loaded!
  • Here are the ordnance parts included in the kit.
  • The lift fan interior is also depicted with accuracy, and has parts for both open and closed auxiliary duct.
  • Peep inside the air intake door to see the cover for the lift fan shaft.
  • Dedicated parts for open and closed lift fan lower doors, and for short takeoff and vertical landing louver positions.
  • This image shows the engine duct/nozzle doors open.
  • Here are the three positions for the engine duct, one for each of the model types that can be selected.
  • A comparison of F-35A and F-35B nozzles on our models.
  • The landing gear can also be assembled compressed or uncompressed.
  • Compare the F-35A and F-35B canopies. This kit includes 2 sets of canopy parts, which can be swapped in and out after assembly.
  • The cockpit has accurate depictions of the differences from the F-35A, and showcases superlative detail.
  • The pilot figure has headgear with the helmet mounted display (HMD).
  • Clear parts recreate the EOTS fairing under the nose. The nose landing gear bay is integrated with the lift fan sides for accurate assembly.
