The F-35 Ligntning II saga continues at Tamiya! After the releases of the F-35A 1/48 (61124) and 1/72 (60792) and the F-35B 1/48 (61125), here is the kit of the F-35B in 1/72. It focuses on the reproduction of the aircraft in the vertical landing phase. Two types of assembly are possible, landed on the ground or hovering.
