Hasegawa 02488 1/72 F-35 Lightning II (B Version) U.S.NAVY VX-23 Test of taking off and landing on KAGA

Relive a pivotal moment in modern warfare with this exquisitely detailed 1/72 scale replica of the F-35B that made history aboard Japan's modified Kaga carrier. Every curve and panel line captures the stealth fighter's revolutionary design, while the custom decals let you recreate either test aircraft "68" or "69" from the groundbreaking 2024 trials. This isn't just a model—it's a three-dimensional tribute to the future of naval aviation.

Key Features:
