Global Scale Modeller

OK folks, here she is. Kit was awesome as is to be expected with Tamiya. Painting is rather easy. Flat black. Done. LOL As I mentioned, no weathering. They didnt allow these planes to get dirty at all. The Caracal decals were fantastic. Also to be expected. And not a lot of them. Again, not much on these planes. That whole stealth thing ya know.

Nice finish and a great reminder of how radical a design the F117 was.

It looks great and it always does my head in how this with all the sharp flat sides can be invisible to radar. I would have thought it would be more visible. Let alone how it manages to fly the air flow must be crazy.

That looks amazing. Ever thought about putting her on a little runway vignette? I know I saw recently that somebody makes one. Just a little assembly and then concrete paint. Or maybe someone made it out of about 200 grit sandpaper then airbrushed it. My memory is failing me.

Its gonna get hung in my big display cabinet. This is my 70th completed model. A few have bases, but I dont have room to do that for many.

Nice clean build. You say it was easy, but that is the trick sir; to make a rather plain build with little decals or complex paint schemes look really good it mighty good modeling skills I would say.

From the little available to read about them, they say without all the computer aides that flying one of these by sheer pilot skills is impossible.

Very nice! I've always wanted to build one with the upper surface painted camouflage as can be seen in a couple photos from when it was experimental, I think.
