DESC: The Joint Strike Fighter program began in the early 1990s as a plan to replace a number of American and British aircraft. Multiple other nations have joined the program since, and an aircraft has been chosen from the prototype trials: the F-35. When complete, the F-35 will perform a variety of roles for several different nations, and an array of different models with differing capabilities will be built. Each United States military F-35 variant is modeled here, one each for Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. Each model is precisely detailed to represent the Joint Strike Fighter as accurately as possible, and any enthusiast will enjoy this high-quality mini-collection. International multirole fighter.
