Italeri 1/72 F-35 B Lightning II STOVL Scale Kit

The Italeri 1/72 scale F-35 B reproduces the compact contours and stealth shaping of the STOVL Lightning II. Intended for hobbyists who appreciate accurate panel lines and a realistic small-scale representation of a contemporary combat aircraft.

Service Role and Carrier Operations

The B model's STOVL ability allows it to operate from carriers like H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth and Italy's Cavour, and it supports the US Marine Corps in expeditionary roles. The propulsion system features a Pratt & Whitney afterburning turbofan with a swivel nozzle to achieve vertical landing performance.

Assembly Appeal and Display Options

Builders receive super decals for three schemes plus a color instruction sheet to guide painting. The external armament "Beast mode" kit element gives modellers the option to display the aircraft in a fully armed configuration for hangar or diorama setups.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Super decals for 3 versions, color instructions, external armament set
  • Assembly: Requires glue

How accurate are the markings and decals?

The super decals are printed to represent three realistic aircraft schemes, providing good detail for small scale markings when applied carefully and with decal setting solution for best results.

What tools and supplies are recommended?

Basic modelling tools like hobby knife, sanding sticks, plastic cement, and paint are required. Fine brushes or an airbrush are recommended for a neat finish on the 1/72 details.
