The Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning CTOL represents the “Conventional Takeoff & Landing” version of this versatile aircraft. “Beast Mode” hangs six pylons under the wings, transforming the aircraft into a devastating strike platform.

Italeri promotes this as a new mold kit and compared to images of their previous F-35C released several years ago, it appears to have far better detail in certain areas like the bomb bays and wheel wells. Sprue “K” (Two included) remained the same with most of the weapons, pylons and bomb bay door hinges.

The model was presented in Italeri’s standard lid and tray box. Two dark grey sprues were bagged together in each of three bags, as was the decal sheet. The two clear sprues were separated within one bag which was thoughtful. An instruction manual, photo etch fret and painting/masking guide completed the box contents.
