Scale Replica Tamiya 61127 1/48 Lockheed F-35C Lightning II for Modellers

The Lockheed F-35C Lightning II is the carrier-focused variant designed to operate from flight decks. Tamiya's 1/48 kit renders the aircraft's distinctive silhouette and deck-ready elements for hobbyists who like accurate scale reproductions.

Naval Variant Breakdown

The F-35C has enlarged wings with folding tips to clear carrier storage, strengthened undercarriage for arrested landings, and control surfaces tuned for slower approach speeds. These characteristics support increased range and operational payload over other versions.
