COBI® F-35A Lightning II

The F-35™A LIGHTNING II™ is a single-seat, multi-role fighter designed by Lockheed Martin Corporation. F-35 version A, a conventional take-off and landing aircraft, was intended to replace the US Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcon and A-10 Thunderbolt II. It is one of the hottest export products of the US defense industry. Since the second decade of the 21st century, it has been used by the air force in many countries around the world. The Norwegian F-35 program, launched in 2008, provides for the acquisition of as many as 52 machines of this type. The first aircraft achieved operational readiness in 2019!Use 576 of the highest quality COBI building blocks to build the most modern multi-role F-35™A LIGHTNING II™ fighter in the world, licensed by the Lockheed Martin defense mega-concern. 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 designed very realistically and can be opened to accommodate a figure of a pilot equipped with a helmet and an oxygen mask with a hose. When you get the F-35 plane, you can also build a block display stand with a plate containing the name of the set!Thanks to the intuitive instructions, the construction is simple and will not cause problems for less advanced builders. The set will meet the expectations of aviation enthusiasts and military and block enthusiasts. The F-35 will also look great in your collection, no matter how old you are!The F-35™A LIGHTNING II™ is the lightest version of the aircraft, capable of performing close support missions, bombing and typical fighter air combat tasks. The F-35 is a supersonic aircraft with reduced in-flight detectability and has high reconnaissance and electronic warfare capabilities in the field of detection, tracking, targeting and jamming.The small arms are a 25mm GAU-12 / U cannon mounted inside the hull. The missile armament is 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 property, it is possible to suspend the armament up to four under-wing pylons and two at the ends of the airfoils (for AIM-9).The aircraft project is jointly financed by the governments of the United States, Great Britain and other countries interested in purchasing the aircraft. The F-35™B LIGHTNING II™ was built under the direction of Lockheed Martin in collaboration with BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman.
