The F-35C Lightning II is the U.S. Navy's carrier variant of the most advanced stealth strike fighter ever built. Designed specifically for carrier operations, the F-35C features the largest wings of the three F-35 variants, distinctive folding wingtips for below-deck storage, and a reinforced airframe built to withstand the extreme demands of catapult launches and arrested landings. As the Navy and Marines' only fifth-generation strike fighter, the F-35C combines stealth, advanced sensor fusion, and supersonic performance in a platform that defines modern carrier aviation.
The Freewing F-35C Lightning II Super Scale 110mm EDF Jet is the largest model Freewing has ever produced, and it delivers the scale fidelity and features expected from their most ambitious release. Powered by an all-new high-performance 110mm EDF unit, this model commands the flight line with serious thrust and an authoritative presence that suits the scale and significance of the aircraft. Its precisely sculpted stealthy fuselage, accurate F-35C wing geometry make this one of the most faithful large-scale representations of the Lightning II ever produced.
The feature list is exceptional. CNC-machined shock-absorbing struts, scale painted gear legs, and sequenced landing gear doors deliver the kind of ground presence and realistic operation you'd expect from a much larger and more expensive model. Factory-installed scale LED navigation, formation, and nose gear landing lights illuminate the airframe, while an included afterburner LED system delivers a glowing exhaust effect at full throttle that turns heads on the flight line and during every high-speed pass. Quick-release plug-in wings for fast, tool-free assembly and a factory-installed EG01 gyro complete the package — delivering a refined, confidence-inspiring flight experience from the very first takeoff.
Three distinct livery options span both U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines F-35C operations. The VFA-147 Argonauts (tail #406) delivers the clean, muted gray look of a front-line carrier jet in low visibility trim. The VMFA-251 Thunderbolts (tail #01) brings bold orange-yellow lightning bolt markings on a striking dark tail, while the VFA-101 Grim Reapers (tail #101) features the iconic skeleton figure with dramatic red accents. Each model ships with factory-applied common markings and a custom decal set — apply your squadron's signature details straight from the sheet, or use the clean airframe as a canvas for your own custom scheme.
