Developed under the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, the F-35 integrates multiple functions into its design and there are three types: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft, the F-35B short takeoff, vertical landing (STOVL), and the F-35C carrier takeoff and landing (CV). The F-35B was developed as a successor to the AV-8B Harrier II. The F-35B is recognized as the aircraft which accomplished both supersonic flight and STOVL by the 3-bearing engine duct nozzle and lift fan, and following the F-35A, the F-35B deployment started in 2015. The first F-35B to see action was an aircraft belonging to the U.S. Marine Corps VMFA-211 “Wake Island Avengers” in Afghanistan, in September 2018. Not only the U.S. and the U.K. but also Italy employ the F-35B. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force also plans to launch a new fighter squadron with the F-35B from 2024 onward. As the F-35B can be operated from both aircraft carriers and airfields featuring short runways, many countries are considering its deployment, and the F-35B looks set to become a significant presence in the skies across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model can be put together in one of the following three ways; Parked, Short takeoff, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical landing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis kit can be assembled with one choice of three ordnance patterns – stealth mode, air-to-air mode, and beast mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lift fan depicted with ergonomic parts breakdown is integrated with nose landing gear bay.
