Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wing tip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 1\/72 scale plastic model assembly kit.
