Introducing the Tamiya 1/72 F-35C Lightning II

The Tamiya #60794 1/72 F-35C Lightning II is a compact, highly detailed representation of the carrier-capable jet. Tamiya's tooling reproduces the aircraft's profile and surface detail, delivering a model that suits display collections and detailed painting projects.

What sets the F-35C apart

The Lockheed Martin F-35C is tailored for carrier duty, with larger wing area and reinforced surfaces compared to the A-model. These features aid slower approach speeds and provide the robustness needed for catapult launches and deck landings.

Model Features and Build Options

Newly moulded components include reinforced main gear details to mirror carrier usage. The kit lets you choose extended or folded wingtips, and includes accurate elements such as the Y-shaped intake contour, cockpit assembly, landing gear bays, a Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat and an authentic engine nozzle.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Wingspan: 182mm
  • Fuselage Length: 218mm
  • Material: Plastic

Is this kit suitable for someone new to Tamiya builds?

Beginners with some modelling patience can assemble this kit, but expect small parts and tight fits. Start with basic tools and follow step-by-step instructions closely.

Are there options for different markings?

Yes, decal sheets are supplied with multiple marking choices, allowing you to represent different squadrons or service schemes.

Do I need to modify parts for the folded-wing setup?

No major modifications are required. The kit supplies components to build either folded or extended wingtip positions, but careful assembly and alignment are important for a clean finish.
