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.
- The F-35C has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower aircraft carrier landings.
- Choose one of the two assembly options: extended or folded wingtips.
- Molded parts to recreate the reinforced nose landing gear with dual tires and rigid main landing gear, and tires.
- Landing gear bay features realistic details such as ribs and pipes.
- Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are molded into fuselage surfaces.
- Realistic rendering of the lower fuselage gun pod. (The gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers.)
- Realistic renderings of the following sections: Y- shaped air intake duct for highly advanced stealth characteristics / Cockpit and landing gear bays / Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat / Engine nozzle (1-piece) / RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises.
- Clear parts recreate canopy and Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) fairing under the nose. Includes parts to recreate AIM-9X Sidewinder x2.
- Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included.
- Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (3 from United States Navy and 3 from United States Marine Corps.).
