Jet F-35B Lightning II STOVL 1:72 Italeri Aircraft

Magnificent Jet F-35B Lightning II STOVL aircraft at scale 1/72 from Italeri reference 1425.

The JSF Joint Strike Fighter program was launched to design a new fifth-generation all-weather multirole fighter aircraft capable of replacing the accelerated NATO and U.S. fighter jets. To answer this question, the Lockheed Martin-led team produced the single-seat, single-engine F-35 Lightning II. It adopts stealth technology and is characterized by its trapezoidal wings and the use of the most advanced high-tech materials and avionics systems. Developed to perform air superiority, close air support and ground attack missions, it is available in different configurations.
The F-35B with its STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing) capabilities was designed to operate from aircraft carriers such as the British H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth or the Cavour, flagship of the Italian Navy. The U.S. S Marines Corps plans to adopt the F-35B for ground attack and support missions. The STOVL version is characterized by the adoption of a Pratt and Whitney post-combustion reactor with swivel hose that directs engine thrust. With operational flexibility, state-of-the-art on-board technology and impressive project innovation, the F-35 Lightning II will be a benchmark aircraft in 21st century military aviation.
