The Airfix Starter Kit Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II offers model-building enthusiasts the opportunity to construct a detailed 1:72 scale replica of one of the world's most advanced multi-role combat aircraft. This precision-engineered plastic model kit allows you to delve into the intricacies of the F-35B, known for its stealth capabilities that enable it to operate undetected in hostile airspace.
Designed for versatility, the F-35B excels in various combat roles, including striking enemy targets and relaying crucial battlefield information. Notably, the United Kingdom has chosen the STOVL variant of the F-35, allowing it to operate from traditional airfields, the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, and even dispersed locations, similar to the Harrier.
In British service, the aircraft will be referred to as the F-35, marking its place as the third to carry the Lightning name, following the historic Lockheed P-38 and the English Electric Lightning.
