| HA4601SR: 1/72 scale diecast model of Lockheed F-35B Lightning II JSF ZM137 of 17 (R) Sqn Royal Air Force Eglin AFB, FL, 2013 with both VTOL and normal flight mode. Production of only 600 pieces. LIFT FAN DOOR OPENS AND THRUST VECTORING NOZZLE CAN BE MOVED UP AND DOWN. The Royal Air Force and Royal Navy plan to operate 138 F-35B short takeoff /vertical landing aircraft, and the first two were delivered to the Royal Air Force in the US in 2012. These aircraft support training at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where British pilots and maintainers are co-operating with the US Marine Corps and their fleet of F-35Bs. The third UK F-35 was delivered to Eglin in June of 2013. The Lightning II will be the backbone of Britain's future carrier operations. As the first supersonic short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) fighter jet, the F-35B will provide vital 5th Generation carrier-strike capabilities to the Royal Navy's two new carriers: the HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales. These new Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers are designed specifically for integration with the F-35B aircraft, including a ski jump ramp for short takeoffs in place of the traditional catapult launch. The F-35B also has the ability to operate from land bases and remote locations, providing versatility that will revolutionize the UK’s expeditionary combat power. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defence programme in history. |
