Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wing tip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/72 scale plastic model assembly kit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe F-35C has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower aircraft carrier landings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoose one of the two assembly options: extended or folded wingtips.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures newly moulded parts to recreate the reinforced nose landing gear with dual tires and rigid main landing gear, and tires.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanding gear bay features realistic details such as ribs and pipes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are moulded into fuselage surfaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures a realistic rendering of the lower fuselage gun pod.
