[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/72 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II.
[Newly developed product made by TAMIYA Precisely reproduces the F-35A with a total length of 218 mm and a total width of 148 mm! ]
Following the 1/48 F-35A Lightning II, which was released at the end of last year and received favorable reviews, F-35A has already appeared in 1/72 scale. The accurate fuselage shape realized in 1/48 scale is maintained, but the parts have been redesigned to be suitable for 1/72 scale. While keeping the number of parts to less than half of 1/48 to make it easier for the user to work on it, it is also packed with content that allows you to reproduce a beast mode full of weapons. This kit is recommended for a wide range of people, from beginners to advanced users. In addition to excellent maneuverability, the F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation jet fighter that combines high stealth, network operation capabilities, and situational identification capabilities through sensor fusion. Three variants are being developed simultaneously: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A for the Air Force, the short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) F-35B for the Marine Corps, and the carrier-borne (CV) F-35C for the Navy. It was done. The F-35A, which is widely adopted by many countries such as the United States Air Force, Italian Air Force, and Japan Air Self-Defense Force, is expected to play an active role as the cornerstone of the air forces of Western countries. -Redesigned the parts configuration to be suitable for 1/72 scale. Pursuing greater ease of assembly while maintaining the precision of 1/48! - A cockpit that has been condensed to 1/72 while maintaining the precision of 1/48.・A realistic pilot doll wearing an HMD (helmet mount display) is also included. The canopy can be opened or closed. - Weapons include air-to-air missile AIM-9X and laser-guided bomb GBU-12 Paveway II. Beast mode with full weapons under the main wings can also be reproduced. The weapon storage is reproduced in a closed state for easy assembly. -The nose area is assembled around the integrally molded nose landing gear storage, using parts that are suitable for 1/72 scale. Achieves more reliable assembly. -The engine nozzle is an integrated part that is both easy to assemble and has a sharp shape. The number of parts around the nozzle is reduced to less than 1/3 compared to 1/48 scale.
