Technical Specifications Summary
This document presents technical specifications for the fabrication and installation of two F-35A Lightning II scale model replicas for Vermont Air National Guard (VTANG). Each model must be scaled at 1:10 minimum with approximate dimensions of 3.5 ft wingspan, 5.14 ft length, and 2 ft height (excluding pedestal). The models require fully painted finishes with detailed cockpit, landing gear bays, and open weapon bay representations, constructed from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) exterior shells with internal steel frames designed to withstand Vermont's extreme winter conditions, including wind, ice, and snow loads tested to 115% of regional extremes.
The contractor must provide high-quality UV-resistant, fire-rated exterior paint (theme park grade) with 2K clear coat protection, catalyzed automotive epoxy coating for internal steel components, and powder coating for the external pedestal pole. The contract includes fabrication of a reusable mold for future cost-effective production, with mold ownership transferring to VTANG upon completion. Each model will be mounted on a robust approximately 7-foot metal pedestal pole with a 1-foot bent attachment to the model's rear, designed for bolt-on assembly/disassembly. The system must be certified by a licensed Professional Engineer and contain no sharp edges or fall hazards. The contractor is responsible for final assembly, transportation, hoisting/leveling, and mechanical anchoring of pedestals to pre-installed concrete foundations at two unique Vermont installation sites, with compliance required for base security access controls.

Technical Specifications
Interested vendors must demonstrate the capability to meet or exceed the following specifications:
Requirement Specification
Scale & Dimensions
Replica of F-35A Lightning II scaled down 1:10 at a minimum. Approximate dimensions: Wingspan:
3.5 ft; Length: 5.14 ft; Height: 2 ft (excluding pedestal).
Fidelity & Finish Fully painted, detailed model outlining the cockpit, landing gear bays, and open weapon bays.
High-accuracy appearance (exact replica scale fidelity not strictly required).
Materials & Durability
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) exterior shell with an internal steel frame. Designed to resist corrosion, extreme thermal cycles, and UV damage.
Coatings High-quality, UV-resistant, fire-rated exterior paint (theme park grade) with a protective 2K clear coat. Internal steel components must be coated with catalyzed automotive epoxy; external pedestal pole must be powder-coated.
Mold Fabrication
The contract includes the fabrication of a reusable mold to allow future cost-effective model production. Ownership of the mold shall transition to VTANG upon contract completion.
Structural Integrity
Must withstand extreme Vermont winter environments (wind, ice, and snow loads). The structure must support its own weight and withstand environmental loads tested to 115% of regional extremes.
Mounting & Safety
Elevated on a robust ~7ft metal pedestal pole (with a 1ft bent attachment to the model's rear).
Designed for bolt-on assembly/disassembly to the concrete pad and model. System must have no sharp edges or fall hazards, and requires certification by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).
Installation & Logistics
• Locations: Two (2) unique installation sites located in Vermont.
• Contractor Responsibilities: Final assembly, transportation, hoisting/leveling, and robust mechanical anchoring of the pedestals to pre-installed concrete foundations. Compliance with base security access controls is required.
