Like other mPLANE series products, this snap-fit cartoonized model kit features cute exterior design and easy assembly. Folding wings are a typical feature of carrier-based aircraft. This feature has been replicated in this kit. The gesture of shooters launching carrier aircraft is impressive. One shooter giving launch instructions is included in this kit.
The J-15 Flying Shark is the first carrier-based fighter aircraft operated by the PLA Navy. This heavy fighter has a length of 22.28m, wingspan of 14.7m and maximum takeoff weight of 33,000kg. The J-15 performed its first takeoff and landing on the PLA Navy aircraft carrier Liaoning in December 2012. In 2013, the J-15 entered mass production and then entered the military service with the PLA Naval Air Force. J-15s are deployed as the main aircraft on the two Chinese aircraft carriers, Liaoning and Shandong.
This model kit faithfully recreates the bleeding edge airframe of the F-35B Lightning II. The F-35 Lightning II is a state-of-the-art multirole stealth fighter developed by Lockheed Martin for the U.S. military and selected allies. The fighter has three variants: the multi-role fighter F-35A, the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the carrier-capable F-35C. This 1/72 scale model was manufactured by Italeri in 2019 and now joins the Tamiya 1/72 scale War Bird Series with the addition of Tamiya materials and parts.
