About the F-35C

The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapult-assisted take-off, barrier arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wing tip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload.

Features

  • 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 182mm, fuselage length: 218mm.
  • The F-35C has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower aircraft carrier landings.

  • Clear parts recreate canopy and Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) fairing under the nose.
