The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious fifth-generation aircraft that is expected to meet the needs of the U.S. armed forces in three different variants, perhaps the riskiest of which is the F-35B, which combines extremely low observability and exceptional situational awareness with short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) capability, facilitated by a fan located between the engine and cockpit, allowing it to operate from smaller spaces such as landing ships, light aircraft carriers and airfields with limited takeoff space. Its deployment is planned not only by the US Marine Corps, but also by the British and Italian air forces. Get an up-close look at this fascinating aircraft with this detailed and accurate model in easy-to-follow 1/72 scale.
