F-35B Lightning II USAF Aircraft 1:48 Scale Building Block Set by COBI - COBI-5829

The F-35B LIGHTNING II is a single-seat, multi-role fighter designed by Lockheed Martin Corporation and made in collaboration with BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman. Financed by a group of countries interested in the project, most prominently the US and UK, the F-35B is a STOVL short-take-off and vertical landing aircraft intended to replace aging aircraft of the United States Marine Corps and those belonging to the British RAF and Royal Navy. The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® has been in service since 2015 and is capable of performing close support missions, bombing and typical fighter air combat missions. The F-35 is a supersonic aircraft with reduced in-flight detectability, has high reconnaissance and electronic warfare capabilities in the field of detection, tracking, targeting, and jamming.

Use 594 of the highest-quality COBI building blocks to build the most modern multi-role F-35®B LIGHTNING II® fighter in the world, licensed by Lockheed Martin. The set has been carefully designed in a 1:48 scale model. The bricks specially designed for this set have been covered with high-quality prints. The characteristic cockpit is made very realistically and can be opened to accommodate a figure of a pilot equipped with helmet and oxygen mask. The missile armament consists of up to 6 AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9X Sidewinder or AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles in internal ammunition chambers or two air-to-air missiles and two 455 kg bombs. Weapons for destroying ground targets can be JSOW or GBU-39 SDB bombs (4 in each bomb chamber), Brimstone anti-tank missiles, cluster bombs or AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles. At the cost of losing stealth, it is also possible to suspend the armament up to four under-wing pylons and two AIM-9 at the end of each wing.
