Compact Hasegawa 1/72 F-35 Lightning II - kit summary for modellers

The Hasegawa 02388 kit presents the F-35 Lightning II A variant in 1/72 scale as used by the JASDF 6th Air Wing in 2025. Molded in PS plastic, the model shows fine surface detail and panel definition aimed at modellers who prefer tidy builds with realistic results. It makes a sharp addition to any contemporary military aircraft collection.

Why the F-35 matters in scale modelling

The F-35's advanced design and multirole use have made it a popular subject for scale kits. This version gives insight into modern defence aviation and allows builders to reproduce current operational markings and low observable finishes in miniature.

Assembly notes and finishing advice

The kit requires glue and paint and rewards careful assembly with a neat, display-ready model. Decals are included for the JASDF scheme, and builders can add subtle weathering to enhance authenticity. The finished model is suitable for display stands or group dioramas.

Specifications

  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, use recommended shades for accuracy
Cockpit and wheel well detail are represented reasonably for 1/72 scale. Expect simplified consoles and basic wheel bay geometry that respond well to extra paint and dry brushing.
With decal setting solution and careful placement, the supplied decals conform well to panel lines. Pre-shading and gloss coat will help achieve a seamless finish.
Yes, aftermarket resin and PE sets are available for 1/72 F-35s and can boost cockpit, landing gear and nozzle detail if you want higher fidelity.
Absolutely. The scale and finish make it easy to mix with other 1/72 modern fighters for flightline or hangar scenes.
