THIS MODEL INCLUDES MANY SMALL PARTS THAT NEED TO BE ASSEMBLED DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED CONFIGURATION (hovering/landing or inflight). 1:72 Scale Metal Diecast – Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II (STOVL) VMFAT-121 Green Knights US Marines – Length: 9" Wingspan: 6” This F-35B model includes a pilot figure. The cockpit can not open. The landing gear is optional, one can select to display the landing gear in its extended position or to cover the wheel wells as in the inflight position. A metal stand where the model can be attached for display is included. The stand is made entirely of metal, it is very sturdy and it is held together by a nut/screw assembly. The wheels can roll freely and are quite smooth (so be careful where you put this thing, or it could roll downhill). The fuselage is all metal and really quite heavy. For the particular variation of the F-35, the pieces to configure the plane in landing mode are included. These pieces make the model achieve a very interesting look, as all panels are opened and the lift fan behind the pilot is visible. Moreover air intakes above and below the airplane are visible. Lastly, the thrust vectoring system is visible as the thrust nozzle is displayed to be pointing towards the ground. The internal weapons bay can be displayed in the opened and close positions. When it is in the opened position, six air to air missiles are visible. This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14.
