Authentic 1/72 F-35B Lightning II by Hasegawa

The Hasegawa 02499 kit models the U.S.M.C F-35B Lightning II at 1/72 scale, complete with VMFA-242 special markings. Precision moulding yields clean panel lines and a well defined cockpit area, ideal for display or diorama use.

The F-35B's short takeoff and vertical landing features are captured in the airframe shape, and assembly offers a hands-on way to explore the aircrafts form. Careful painting and decal work will highlight the kit's engraved detail.

Can I pose this kit with landing gear down or folded?

The kit includes parts to build the aircraft in a standard display configuration. Check the instruction sheet for alternate assembly options and how to pose the aircraft safely during finishing.

What finishing techniques improve realism?

Fine sanding of joints, careful primer coats and subtle weathering washes enhance surface detail. Use decal setting solutions for a painted-on look and seal with satin or matt varnish to match reference photos.

Are spare parts available if I lose a piece?

Spare parts policies vary by supplier. Keep small sprues and part numbers from the instructions; many retailers can advise on replacements or provide guidance on fabricating minor missing items.
