frankv74 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) This is the Academy 1/72 F-117 Night Hawk. The Seat is from True details. I cut the rudder so they look As the Aircraft would be park on tarmac . I added the shades for the Cocpit Edited May 4, 2010 by frankv74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tripio Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Come on Frank, keep going. Is it the Academy F-117? I've built one from the Italeri 1/72,I rescribed all the panel lines,it was a very boring process. It looks that it would be a better choice... Regards,Laz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MiG31 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 There are, but they are covered by the RAM coverings. What kit is this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tripio Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Their are no real panel lines on the F-117.Frank There are some. At that time it would be easier for me to rescribe and use a lighter shade of black to accent he lines than making so much masking job and paint all the tapes to the surface.

I know this is 12 years later, but what was the body color that you rescribed the lines into? Was it primed? what color did you accent the panel lines? If the body was black i am very interested in these questions. If anyone can point me towards f-117 nighthawk builds that are black body with colored panel lines i would love to research it. I am about to start the Revell 1:72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Pictures are better examples. As the RAM coating weathered and was patched, you'd get the variation. Here's one example: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Criticalmach Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Some have slightly more visible lines that others. None of the F-117’s were built exactly the same, and they all had tailored ‘RAM’ materials to counter specific threats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
