The F-35B stands out in the Joint Strike Fighter family thanks to its short takeoff and vertical landing function, following on from the AV-8B Harrier II legacy.

Options in the kit include parked, short takeoff and vertical landing builds, and it supplies parts for several weapon arrangements such as a stealth configuration, standard air-to-air fit, and a heavy ordnance setup for display variety.

Adjustable nozzle positions, weapon bay doors and control surfaces let builders create active poses like vertical landing. Included decals for three nations and alternate ordnance parts widen display and customisation choices.
