F-117 • 1:32 Nighthawk by Trumpeter
Well hello! 🍓 Let's build that beast! This is my second model in this scale and after the B-2 in 1/72 - everything in it looks ginormous. 🙂 I somehow found out after the B-2 that the bomber planes have a slightly different structure and shape from the jetfighters, and i liked it too.... in a different way, but still i like it a lot and that's how i decided to build the Nighthawk. This F-117 kit is giant. It has metal landing gear, PE intake screens, rubber tyres and canopy with thin flat sides -
The top side - first things first - highlightning the oil canning patterns:
the results:
After that - some unsuccessful trials with aluminum self-adhesive tape... I thought to keep these stripes permanently, but they are too too out of scale...
So - instead, the easy way 🙂 - just proper masking tape that will leave very very subtle (almost invisible) indentations once removed after the priming, which I hope
