Italeri 1469 - 1/72 Lockheed F-35C Lightning II CATOBAR Overview

This 1/72 scale Italeri model represents the Lockheed F-35C Lightning II with attention to the stealth lines and carrier-focused design that define the type. The F-35C is the naval CATOBAR variant built for catapult launches and arrested recoveries, making it an attractive subject for hobbyists who enjoy modern military subjects.

Scale fidelity and carrier-specific detail

The kit reproduces the F-35C's larger wing planform and strengthened undercarriage that are essential for carrier operations. Parts are finely molded and require careful assembly, rewarding builders who prioritise accuracy and clean construction techniques.

Collecting potential and display options

As a modern naval fighter, the F-35C adds a current-generation piece to any display of contemporary jets. The model fits well alongside other 1/72 modern aircraft and offers options for stand or diorama presentation focused on carrier themes.
