F-35A Lightning II Lockheed Martin 1:48

A real highlight from TAMIYA in the 1:48 aircraft model range:
The Lockheed Martin® F-35®A Lightning II ®!
The model is a complete mould novelty and in-house development by TAMIYA.
The aim was to create the most detailed model of this aircraft in 1/48th scale.
The F-35 is available in three versions:
A for the Air Force
B for the Marines
C for the Navy.
Development was under the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter Program) and the F-35 was intended to be the fifth generation of fighter jets.
The aircraft has a sophisticated stealth design, state-of-the-art networked electronics and countless sensors that provide all the data for the pilot and computer.
The F-35 entered service in 2015 and 3,000 F-35s are now planned to be deployed in many different countries.
