Hasegawa 1/72 F-35 Lightning II - detailed kit brief for modellers

The Hasegawa 02388 1/72 scale kit models the F-35 Lightning II A as flown by the JASDF 6th Air Wing in 2025. Featuring injection molded PS plastic parts, the kit reproduces the aircraft's stealthy lines and surface detail at a collectible scale. It appeals to modellers who prioritise accuracy and correct markings.

Significance and modern service notes

As a current generation fighter, the F-35 is significant for its sensor suite and mission flexibility. This Hasegawa kit represents the Japanese service example and provides a useful reference for modern military aviation displays and scale collections.

Model build considerations and display ideas

The kit requires careful assembly and painting to reach its full potential. With tidy seam treatment and correct paint choices, the finished model presents strongly on a plinth or as part of a modern airfield diorama. Decals included allow for an authentic JASDF 6th Air Wing finish.
