The Tamiya 1/48 F-35C Lightning II (61127) reproduces the carrier variant of the F-35 — the navalized F-35C with its enlarged folding wings and strengthened undercarriage for catapult launches and arrested landings from US Navy supercarriers. The F-35C combines full stealth capability with carrier operability, eventually replacing the F/A-18 Hornet as the US Navy's primary carrier strike aircraft.
Tamiya's 1/48 kit captures the F-35C's distinctive larger wing, folding wingtips, and carrier-specific features with characteristic engineering precision.
Kit highlights:
Accurate F-35C with enlarged folding carrier wing
Strengthened undercarriage and arrester hook
Internal weapons bay option
US Navy carrier squadron marking options
The definitive naval F-35 in 1/48 scale
Please note: Cement and paints required, sold separately.
