F-35B Lightning II USA, model, 594 parts, 8 years and up

The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® is a single-seat, multi-role combat aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The F-35 Version B is a STOVL short take-off and vertical landing aircraft designed to replace those previously used by the United States Marine Corps and the British RAF and Royal Navy.

With 594 high-quality COBI building blocks, you build the world's most advanced multi-role fighter, the F-35®B LIGHTNING II®, released under licence from mega-corporation Lockheed Martin. The set has been carefully designed in 1:48 scale. The specially designed blocks for this set have been covered with high quality prints. The characteristic cockpit is very realistically designed and can be opened to fit a figure of a pilot equipped with a helmet and oxygen mask with hose. When you buy a plane, you also get a display stand with a sign that says the name of the set!

Thanks to the intuitive instructions, assembly is easy and will not cause any problems for less advanced builders. The set will meet the expectations of aviation, military and block enthusiasts. The F-35 will look great in your collection, no matter how old you are!

The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® has been in service since 2015 and is capable of close support, bombing and air combat missions. The F-35 is a supersonic aircraft with limited in-flight detectability, has high intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities in detection, tracking, targeting and jamming.

The armament is a 25 mm GAU-12/U gun mounted in the fuselage. Missile armament consists of up to 6 AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9X Sidewinder or AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles in internal ammunition bays or two air-to-air missiles and two 455 kg bombs. Weapons to destroy ground targets can be JSOW or GBU-39 SDB bombs (4 each in the bomb bay), Brimstone anti-tank missiles, cluster bombs or AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles. At the cost of losing stealth capability, armament can be hung from four underwing nodes and two at the ends of the wings (for AIM-9).

The aircraft project is jointly funded by the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries interested in purchasing this aircraft. The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® was built under the direction of Lockheed Martin in collaboration with BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman.
