About product

Academy 1:72 F-35A and the thousandth Lightning II milestone

An injection-molded plastic kit of the single-seat F-35A from the South Korean brand Academy. The box is turned out to commemorate the thousandth aircraft of the F-35 program to be delivered, and it is those markings that set it apart from the ordinary box of the same aircraft. For this release the manufacturer gives engraved panel structure, a detailed cockpit, landing gear and a weapons bay, with the doors of both the landing gear and the bay able to be built open or closed.

A few words about the real subject

The F-35A is the land-based variant with conventional takeoff and landing, and thus the most widespread member of the Lightning II family. It differs from its siblings in lacking both a lift fan and a folding wing, and it is the only one to carry an internal gun. It carries its weapons inside the fuselage in order to keep its radar cross-section low, and its strength does not lie in propulsion alone but in the linking of sensors and data transfer.

What helps during the build

On an aircraft with a smooth surface, clean work decides everything: we recommend sanding the fuselage seams and restoring the fine engraving, so that traces of filler disappear. Apply the gray shades in thin coats with an airbrush and handle the differences between panels with gentle shading rather than sharp transitions. Finish the cockpit and the weapons bay before the fuselage halves are joined.

Who the model suits

  • Collectors of modern combat aircraft in a small scale
  • Modelers who follow the modern US Air Force
  • Builders with basic experience of injection-molded plastic
  • Anyone interested in a commemorative release with its own markings

The kit is sold as a set of unpainted plastic parts; the glue and the paints are obtained separately.

FAQ

The release commemorates the delivery of the thousandth aircraft of the F-35 program. It is a commemorative boxing of the same type, not a different airframe version.

It is not. It is supplied as a set of plastic parts that have to be separated from the sprues, glued and sprayed.

It belongs to the medium category. The most work goes into joining the fuselage cleanly and spraying the gray shades evenly.

It takes off from and lands on a conventional runway, it has neither a lift fan nor the strengthened landing gear for carrier operations, and it is the only member of the family to carry an internal gun.
