Hasegawa 1/72 F-35B Lightning II detailed scale kit

The Hasegawa 02499 assembly kit presents the U.S.M.C F-35B Lightning II in 1/72 scale with VMFA-242 special markings. The kit highlights accurate silhouette and detailed surface engraving, giving a realistic platform for painting and weathering techniques.

The F-35B is recognised for short takeoff and vertical landing performance, and this model lets builders study those design traits while assembling a compact, display-ready example. The parts fit supports careful seam work and cockpit finishing.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint and Decals: Included
  • Highly detailed cockpit and fine panel lines

Which paints suit the VMFA-242 finish?

Use acrylic or enamel paints matched to the scheme in the guide. An airbrush gives the smooth, even coats needed for a stealth finish; hand brushing can work for smaller details.

Is this kit suitable for a first time builder?

Beginners can attempt this kit but should expect some delicate work. It is better suited to modellers who have handled small parts, masking and decal application before.

How should I care for a finished model?

Keep the model out of direct sunlight and dust it gently. A clear coat helps protect paint and decals; store on a stable shelf or display case to avoid knock damage.
