Overview of the Italeri 1409 - 1/72 F-35A CTOL Kit

This Italeri 1/72 F-35A Lightning II CTOL kit gives enthusiasts a compact yet faithful representation of the modern multirole fighter. The model captures the F-35A's stealthy silhouette and system layout in a scale that balances display presence with manageable bench work.

Background and design notes

The F-35A Lightning II, from Lockheed Martin, belongs to the fifth generation of fighters and shares family traits with the F-35B and F-35C. The single-engine layout and trapezoidal wing geometry are modelled to reflect the aircrafts stealthy lines, while the CTOL version highlights the conventional landing and operational fit.

Building and finishing tips

This Italeri kit is engineered for modellers who enjoy careful assembly. It includes a coloured instruction sheet and a super decal sheet offering markings for five distinct versions, letting you tailor the finished display to different squadrons or schemes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Includes options for 5 versions
The cockpit offers simplified but recognisable detail suited to 1/72 scale; you can enhance the instrument panels and seat with aftermarket decals or fine paintwork for a more realistic look.
Standard polystyrene cement is recommended for assembly. For finishing, acrylics or enamel hobby paints provide good coverage; use a fine primer to bring out panel lines before final painting.
Yes, the included super decal sheet contains options for five versions so you can depict various squadron markings. Decals may benefit from a softener for conforming over raised details.
It suits modellers with some prior assembly experience due to small parts and precise fitting. Beginners can still build it with patience and basic modelling tools like tweezers, files and hobby glue.
