1/72 Tamiya 60793 - Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Scale Model Kit for Modellers  [60793]

Tamiya 60793 - 1/72 F-35B Lightning II compact scale kit

The Tamiya 60793 kit captures the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II in precise 1/72 form, emphasising panel detail and correct proportions. Created with reference to the larger 1/48 tooling, this edition delivers an authentic small-scale subject that appeals to hobbyists who value accurate surface detail.

What makes the F-35B unique

The F-35B is the STOVL member of the Joint Strike Fighter family, replacing the AV-8B Harrier II. It features a lift fan and a three-bearing swivel nozzle to support short takeoffs and vertical landings, while still offering supersonic performance. In service since about 2015, it operates with forces such as the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Air Force, able to operate from carriers and short strips.
