1/8 F-35A Lightning II - PNP

Exceptional Scale. Turbine Performance. Less Time Building.

A distinctive jet. A more complete package. A faster path to the flightline.

Introducing the upgraded FLYSAFE JETS 1/8-scale F-35A Plug-and-Play turbine model—a striking combination of scale craftsmanship, high-performance capability, and factory-completed assembly.

With most components and assembly work completed at the Der Jet Model Company factory, the new PNP version takes more of the build out of your hands, so you can focus on final installation, setup, and flying.

Refined through four years of flight testing, customer feedback, and advances in available technology, this newest version delivers meaningful upgrades designed to improve quality, simplify completion, and support more reliable operation.

True Scale Presence. Serious Performance.

From its detailed cockpit and pilot figure to its scale lighting, distinctive markings, and servo-operated gear doors, this F-35A commands attention on the ramp—and delivers a true scale presence in the air.

With performance capability exceeding 190 MPH, it pairs the unmistakable F-35A profile with the speed and sound of turbine power. As the only turbine-powered F-35A model currently on the market, it offers something genuinely different for pilots who want to stand apart from the usual flightline lineup.
