Italeri 1419 JSF Program X-32A and X-35B is a high-quality plastic model kit representing two unique prototypes of next-generation aircraft developed as part of the American Joint Strike Fighter program. The models are available in the popular and well-liked 1:72 scale, allowing you to recreate both the Boeing X-32A and the Lockheed Martin X-35B – aircraft that participated in the groundbreaking competition for the next multirole fighter for the United States armed forces and their allies.

• Scale: 1:72 – ideal for display and aircraft model collections, featuring accurately reproduced details and cockpit fittings.
• User country: United States of America – both prototypes were developed for the US Air Force, US Navy, and US Marines.
• Historical period: Early 21st century, modern times – the JSF program began in the late 1990s, and test flights for the X-32A and X-35B took place in 2000–2001.
• Materials: The model is made from high-quality plastic. The components feature precise casting and are easy to work with. The kit includes decals for markings characteristic of both prototypes.
• Product category: Plastic model kit, dedicated to modelers interested in 21st-century military aviation and the history of modern designs.
• Assembly difficulty: 2/5 – the model is suitable for both intermediate and experienced modelers who want to enrich their collection with unique projects from the groundbreaking Joint Strike Fighter program.
• Historical overview: The X-32A and X-35B were prototypes developed by Boeing and Lockheed Martin, respectively, competing for the contract for a future versatile combat aircraft. Ultimately, the winner of the JSF program was the X-35, which was further developed into the production version as the F-35 Lightning II.
