1/72 Decals for F-117 in Desert Storm

[Brian K]

Does anybody know of any aftermarket decals representing F-117s flown during Desert Storm?

That was the first place I checked and they don't list any in 1/72. I might have to dig into old Revell and Academy boxes for Desert Storm decals.

I don't know about Desert Storm specifically, but Twobobs made 72-042 which has enough numbers to make any F-117. It's out of print, but if you hunt around, I'm sure one would turn up eventually.

Here's a site that mentions the planes involved:

Using that site, I'm sure you might find better pictures!

There is almost nothing on that sheet that could be used on a Desert Storm F-117. Even the national insignia was somewhat different, let alone the badges and tail codes.

I have for years been looking for F-117 Desert Storm markings in 1/72 and 1/48, but the only markings that I can ever find are with the kit and these are always for the same aircraft which is the one that Col Al Whitley flew during the conflict. This is really a pity as there many more aircraft out there that had better bomb bay art. If only someone would do a sheet or was some sort of agreement reached about which aircraft could be done?

Furthermore, on the 1/72nd sheet the Kosovo mission markings that were the reason I ordered the sheet in the first place are not included...

I'm sure you know of the Cutting Edge F-117 sheet? It covers some other Desert Storm planes other than 'Toxic Avenger'. Of course it's rather hard to find. I know some DS modeler that has that sheet; but won't part with it.

I wonder who that would be...

I can say with some certainty that your wait is almost over..

Now that does sound interesting.
