F-35C lightning II 169034 VFA-125 2022 in 1:72 scale
This is the F-35C lightning II 169034 VFA-125 2022 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The F-35C Lightning II with Bureau Number 169034 (tail‑code “NJ‑432”) is assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 125 (VFA‑125 “Rough Raiders”), the U.S. Navy’s F‑35C fleet‑replacement squadron based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. In 2022 this aircraft was photographed at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 airshow, demonstrating the carrier‑capable variant’s distinctive long wing, dual‑wheel nose gear and stealth‑oriented shape. What sets this aircraft apart is its role within the F‑35C programme: the F‑35C is specifically optimized for aircraft‑carrier operations (with larger wings, stronger landing gear and tailhook for the angled‑deck) and therefore represents the Navy’s cutting‑edge strike platform for sea‑based power projection.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
