1/32 Italeri F-35A Lighting II CTOL Version Kit No. 2506

The aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin generated the single-seat, single-engine, F-35 Lightning II. It adopts stealth technology and it is characterized by the trapezoidal wings and by the use of the most advanced hi-tech materials and avionic systems. Developed to perform air superiority, close air support, and ground attack missions, it has been designed in different configurations. The F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing variant, the F-35B is the short takeoff and vertical landing variant and the F-35C, with foldable-wings, has been developed to be used from conventional deck carriers. Decals for 6 versions (USAF x2, Italy, Australia, Netherlands, Israel).

The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. The United States principally funds the F-35 JSF development, with additional funding from partners. The program is the most expensive military weapons system in history, and has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries. The F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant intended for the U.S. The F-35A is expected to match the F-16 in maneuverability and instantaneous high-g performance, and outperform it in stealth, payload, range on internal fuel, avionics, operational effectiveness, supportability, and survivability.

Critics are quick to point out that it isn't a true fighter as it is not as maneuverable as the F-22 Raptor nor does it have the payload of many of its predecessors. If we look back in time to the 1970s, the F-15 Eagle was developed as the ultimate dogfighter that ushered in a new era of air superiority. The F-16 Fighting Falcon was acquired to serve as a low-cost strike fighter, but over the years, the F-16 evolved into a robust mutli-role platform. F-35A JSF. GENERIC F-35 photo presentation....

Still with test nose pitot probe. Behind the cockpit the refueling panel is seen (closed). Also note the large trailing edge flaperons that combine flap for high lift and drag and aileron roll functions. The zig-zag type edges of the RAM panels is well seen here At this test aircraft the IPP (sort of APU) exhaust is still located on top near the left vertical tail. F-35A JSF in 1/32 scale ITALERI.

ITALERI from Italy is the first plastic kit manufacturer to release a F-35 in this 1/32 scale. The kit #2506 for a F-35A arrived in the shops 16 March 2017. It was purchased at a special price of EURO 92.50. The kit is for the F-35A, the "conventional take-off and landing" version. This version was ordered by the Royal Netherlands Air Force ( KONINKLIJKE LUCHTMACHT ). The contents in the box looks impressive. The kit instructions are really good with no less than 45 build steps and using the CAD mo(u)ld drawings. The Modelling News: Construction Guide Part I: Nico builds Italeri’s 1/32 scale F-35 A.
