1:72 F-35C Lightning II

The JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program was initiated to develop a new fifth-generation multirole fighter jet capable of serving as a viable alternative to ground attack aircraft of the United States and NATO countries. This project resulted in the single-seat Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft. Equipped with exceptional technology, it features an aerodynamic configuration with stealth characteristics and a trapezoidal wing design. Designed for air superiority missions, close air support, and ground attacks, its fuselage can be adapted in various configurations. The F-35A operates from conventional runways, the F-35B is designed for vertical takeoff and landing, and the F-35C is ideal for deployment from conventional aircraft carriers. Notably, the F-35C features folding wingtips to optimize onboard storage, a tailhook, and a reinforced nose gear suitable for catapult launches from U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
