F-35C Lighting II
KH80132
Said to be the first ever fighter with very low observable
stealth available at sea. With a broad
wingspan, rugged structures and durable coatings, the F-35C carrier variant
(CV) is designed to stand up to harsh shipboard conditions while delivering a
lethal combination of 5th Generation fighter capabilities.
Here we have shome shots fo the test kit from Kittyhawk and comparisons with the real thing
The “CV” sets a new standard in weapon systems integration,
maintainability, combat radius and payload that brings true multi-mission
capability to naval forces around the world.
