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

The Lockheed F-35C Lightning II is the carrier-optimised member of the F-35 family, engineered for deck landings and carrier operations. This Tamiya 1/48 kit reproduces the F-35C profile and its carrier-focused features for hobbyists who enjoy detailed assembly and accurate finish work.

F-35C Carrier Edition Details

The F-35C is built for naval service with larger wings that include folding tips to save carrier deck space, reinforced landing gear for arrested recoveries, and refined control surfaces for improved low-speed handling. These adaptations support greater fuel and payload capacity compared with other variants.

Kit Construction and Options

This model supplies newly moulded fuselage parts with separate canopy and weapons bay door components. Radar absorbent material textures are represented on the external surfaces. Builders can select configurations to mirror different operational setups, such as:

• Deployed or folded wingtips
• Stowed or extended air refuelling probe
• Open or shut arresting hook bay
• Canopy set open or closed
• Weapons bay doors either open or closed
• Boarding ladder displayed or stowed

The kit also contains detailed pylons, cockpit elements, landing gear bays, and a five-piece engine nozzle. You can assemble the aircraft in a low-observable setup, an air-to-air configuration, or a heavy ordnance loadout using the included weapon options.
