Italeri 1/48 F-35B Lightning II Stovl Model Kit

The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II is the short takeoff/vertical landing variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, designed for the US Marine Corps and Royal Navy. Its LiftFan system — a shaft-driven vertical fan behind the cockpit coupled with a vectoring rear nozzle — enables operations from amphibious assault ships and ski-jump carriers without catapults. The F-35B combines fifth-generation stealth, sensor fusion, and STOVL capability in a single airframe. This 1/48 Italeri kit features the open LiftFan bay option, swiveling exhaust nozzle, and USMC or Royal Navy markings.
