Description: Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA4618 Lockheed F-35B Lightning II Diecast Model RAF No.617 Sqn, ZM159, HMS Queen Elizabeth, Operation Achillean November 2022, Beast Mode ConfigurationLimited Edition 1:72 Scale Length WidthLockheed F-35B Lightning II 8.5" 5.75" Nine warships, F-35B Lightning jets, helicopters and thousands of sailors and Royal Marines Commandos were part of Operation Achillean. During the deployment, the F-35B Lightning jets from 617 Squadron carried out flying operations, while helicopters from 820, 845, 815 and 825 Naval Air Squadrons undertook sorties from a bustling flight deck. The operation concluded on December 10th, 2022 as HMS Albion's amphibious task group returned to the UK after three months operating in Europe in a demonstration of NATO unity. The F-35 is designed to be stealthy, concealing up to 5,700 pounds of ordnance within its internal weapons bays. When stealth isn't the priority however, it can be configured in "Beast Mode", carrying a total of 22,000 pounds both internally and externally via conventional wing pylons. Lockheed F-35B Lightning II Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
