midnightprowler Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Sure thing. Any recommendations as to which is better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 1/72 Hasegawa F-117 is nice and simple build, as to F-22 there is Revell and Academy. Revell is more accurate of the two. B-2 wise, there is an old terrible Testors kit but there is a new one coming out this year hopefully from Modelcollect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In 1/72 scale, Academy, Hasegawa, Italeri, Airfix/Heller, Revell and ESCI/AMT have popped out F-117s Academy and Revell-Germany/Monogram released F-22s (Fujimi also released an F-22, but it is underscale) As for the B-2, I agree with Berkut, it's better to wait for the Modelcollect kit coming later this year.

habu2 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) The 1:48 Academy F-117 (a reboxed Hobbycraft kit) is underscale - go Tamiya or Revell depending on your budget. The 1:72 Heller/Airfix F-117 kit suffers from Very Poor fit, I trashed mine , not worth the effort. The 1:72 Revell F-117 is surprisingly accurate considering its roots as a snap-tite kit and the fit is far better. Testors released the F-117 in 1:32 long ago. I've never seen the kit in person but the photos didn't look promising wrt accuracy. Edited May 30, 2017 by habu2 Spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The Testors B-2 costs a small fortune and the cost isnt reflective of the models quality as much as it is the models rarity. The lack of model subjects for that plane is really quite surprising as its been known for a long long time now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
