• The front and main landing gear have been accurately reproduced, reflecting their complex structure and sturdiness.

Historical background: The Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II is one of the most advanced multirole fighters, designed for operations from aircraft carriers. It is part of the Joint Strike Fighter program, which aims to replace many older types of aircraft in the armed forces of the USA and their allies. The F-35C stands out with larger wings and reinforced landing gear, allowing it to take off and land on aircraft carriers. With advanced stealth technology, the F-35C is difficult to detect by radar, making it extremely effective in combat operations.
