Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (JSF)
This kit from Revell is in scale 1:48. This is of course no easykit, glueing and painting is required. It includes about 45 parts, a construction manual and decals for three differnt versions. I build the fictitious Netherland-version. It was quite difficult to build, the landing gear is a bit tricky.
price: about 20€
information:
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole fighter, that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 has three different models; one is the conventional takeoff and landing variant, the second is short takeoff and vertical-landing variant, and the third is a carrier-based variant.
The F-35 is descended from the X-35, the product of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. Its development is being principally funded by the United States and the United Kingdom, with other partner governments providing additional funding. It is being designed and built by an aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin with Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems as major partners. Demonstrator aircraft flew in 2000, with the first flight on 15 December 2006.
