PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious 5th Generation aircraft that aims to meet the needs of different U.S. service arms via three different variants. Our model kits of the A and B variants have proven to be model fan favorites since their introduction in 2022 and 2023, respectively. We now complete the variant journey with this model assembly kit which recreates the F-35C.
About the F-35C
The F-35C is a carrier-based variant designed for catapult-assisted take-off, barrier arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wingtip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload.
• Fuselage parts are newly molded excluding canopy and weapons bay doors parts.
• Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are molded into fuselage surfaces.
• Choose parts to recreate:
- Deployed or folded wingtips (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.)
- Deployed or stowed air fuel probe on the right side of nose
- Open or closed arresting hook door
- Open or closed canopy (Parts can be interchanged after assembly.)
- Open or close weapons bay doors.
- Deployed or stowed boarding ladder.
• Leading-edge and trailing-edge control surfaces are depicted down. Parts to render wheel chocks are also included.
• Features realistic renderings of pylons (F-35C's dedicated design) under wings and lower fuselage gun pod. (The gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers.)
• Features realistic renderings of the following sections:
- Nose undersurface side details
- Y- shaped air intakes
- Weapons bay inside details including depictions of wiring
- Cockpit and landing gear bays
- Engine nozzle (5-piece design)
- Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat
- RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections (two for each, four in total) during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises
• Choose whether to assemble the model in stealth mode (no external ordnance), air-to-air mode (missiles only), or beast mode (full ordnance).
• Includes various kinds of ordnance: AIM-9X Sidewinder x2, AIM-120C AMRAAM x2, GBU-12 Paveway II x4, and GBU-31 JDAM x2.
• Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included.
• Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (4 from United States Navy and 2 from United States Marine Corps.)

Squeaky’s Trains & Things LLC was founded in December of 2019. It was started by our family that has been in love with everything, trains large and small, driven by creativity since we were born. We grew up playing with model trains and watching, learning about and studying different aspects of magnificent locomotives on a daily basis and today we still do.
It also has helped us get through rough times while dealing with being diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Trains and creativity have always helped calm our daily lives while also becoming self-taught on making designs and artwork.
With this our family activity that grew into a really big hobby! We realized local train stores were barely available and we also wanted to start offering other model railroading fans our self-made creations for their enjoyment. We want to help the community around us by providing model railroad supplies and continue the legend of the greatest hobby on earth, model trains and railroading!
