The Italeri 1419S kit presents two important prototype fighters from the Joint Strike Fighter trials, the Boeing X-32A alongside the Lockheed Martin X-35B. These models capture the contrasting design choices of the competition era, from the X-32A's bold intake and planform to the X-35B's vectored thrust and lift-fan concept used in STOVL tests.
Scaled to 1/72, the kit is aimed at modellers wanting to compare both designs side by side. It includes parts to build versions representative of conventional flight and STOVL testing, giving variety to display and paint schemes.
