Description
Tamiya welcomes another F-35 Lightning II variant, F-35C in our 1/48 Aircraft Series! Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II is a 5th Generation fighter developed under the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, successfully providing extremely low observability, network connectivity and exemplary situational awareness. Developed to take over from Navy F/A-18s, the F-35C is designed for use with CATOBAR (catapult assisted takeoff but arrested recovery) systems.
Larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants help it with slower landings on carriers, while its wing tips fold ninety degrees upward to allow for more room on deck. The F-35C has a rear arresting hook which catches the arresting cables on the flight deck, slowing it and allowing a landing in the limited space. Also, the F-35C nose landing gear is connected to the catapult shuttle via its catapult hook for catapult-assisted takeoffs. Along with the F-35A and the F-35B, the F-35C will lead air arms across the world for many years to come.
This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.

This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.
- The distinctive fuselage form of the F-35C – which has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower landings – is authentically captured in style. The model is assembled parked.
- Fuselage parts are newly moulded, excluding canopy and weapons bay doors parts.
- Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are moulded into fuselage surfaces.
- Choose parts to recreate:
- Deployed or folded wing tips (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.)
- Deployed or stowed air fuel probe on the right side of nose
- Open or closed arresting hook door
- Open or closed canopy (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.)
- Open or closed weapons bay doors
- Deployed or stowed boarding ladder
- Leading-edge and trailing-edge control surfaces are depicted down. Parts to render wheel chocks are also included.
- Features realistic renderings of pylons (F-35C's dedicated design) under wings and lower fuselage gun pod. (The gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers.)
- This kit also features realistic renderings of the following sections:
- Nose undersurface side details
- Y- shaped air intakes
- Weapons bay inside details including depictions of wiring
- Cockpit and landing gear bays
- Engine nozzle (5-piece design)
- Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat
- RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections (two for each, four in total) during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises
- Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance).
- Includes various kinds of ordnance: AIM-9X Sidewinder x2, AIM-120C AMRAAM x2, GBU-12 Paveway II x4, and GBU-31 JDAM x2.
- Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted
- Display (HMD) included.
- Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (4 from United States Navy and 2 from United States Marine Corps.).
