Tamiya 1/72 F-35B Lightning II: Precision Scale Representation

The Tamiya 1/72 scale representation of the F-35B Lightning II gives hobbyists a compact but accurate look at one of the newest STOVL fighters. Developed by Lockheed Martin, the F-35B is noted for its short take-off and vertical landing capability, and this kit renders that modern layout into a display-ready model suitable for shelves and dioramas.

Detailed Components and Authentic Accessories

This kit, originally produced by Italeri in 2019, has been updated with Tamiya packaging, a revised instruction booklet, and extra components. It includes decals representing two F-35B aircraft based at Iwakuni, Japan. Builders can choose open or closed canopy presentations and fit AIM-120 air-to-air missiles plus a missile trolley for realistic ordnance display.

Notes for Collectors

The F-35B Lightning II model sits well in a War Bird Series lineup, showing the transition in modern fighter design. Its accurate panel lines and accessory parts make it attractive for collectors who enjoy careful assembly and accurate finishing work.
