Scale detail: 1/72 F-35B Lightning II by Hasegawa

The Hasegawa 02499 kit captures the U.S.M.C F-35B Lightning II at 1/72 scale with the distinctive VMFA-242 special marking scheme. The moulding emphasises precise panel definition and a well proportioned airframe, making it a strong choice for collectors focused on realistic surface detail.

The B variant brings vertical landing capability to the subject, and this kit demonstrates those aircraft lines with parts that allow careful assembly and accurate finishing. The build rewards attention to small details in the cockpit and external surfaces.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint and Decals: Included
  • Cockpit detail and fine engraved panel lines

How long will a typical build take?

Build time varies with skill and finish level. An intermediate modeller can expect several evenings to a weekend to complete a neat, painted build with decals applied carefully.

What is the best way to apply the included decals?

The kit includes a decal sheet and instructions. Use water-slide technique, micro set and micro sol solutions for a smooth conformal finish, and seal decals with a clear coat when dry.

Can I upgrade this kit with aftermarket parts?

Yes, many 1/72 scale accessories and detail sets are compatible. Check fitment notes for weapons, resin cockpits or landing gear if you plan to add refinements.
