Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Tough to identify by the box, at least with my weak tracking skills, but as far as I can tell, neither Ebay nor SprueBrothers have any bomb-bay-included releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddler Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The 0833 kit which I have, being the grey dragon boxing neither has the bay included... Maybe through 1999.co.jp which has much sprue shots/parts diagrams in their photo's of the kits... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob de Bie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have this issue, that was the first issue (AFAIK) that had the bomb bays. Maybe the only? https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-00086-f-117a-nighthawk-w-gbu-27-guided-bombs--187879 Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Yep, I believe it's only that issue (GBU-27) and the Desert Storm release. Trouble is where to find one now??? I'm not even having any luck finding an aftermarket bomb bay, only details for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If you can't find the Hasegawa kit these two kits included bomb bays, possible source for bay parts The Revell kit is an upgraded version of the Monogram snap-tite kit, with bomb bay and landing gear parts added: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-4460-f-117-stealth--250271 The Academy kit also included a bomb bay https://www.scalemates.com/kits/academy-2107-ghost-baghdad--1104859 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 CMK also did a "Armament Set" #7107 that the bomb bay in resin. I think it was intended for the Academy kit, but probably would work without too much difficulty on a Hasegawa kit as well. Looking at the instructions on 1999.co.jp the following boxings from the last 20 years have the bomb bay: Farewell (with the flag on the bottom) 02011 Special Marking (with the Skunkworks cartoon skunk on the bottom) 00747 Desert Storm 02256 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 They were included in these super-secret 'weapons of mass distraction' boxings that even Lockheed employees don't want to talk about: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10199366 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10109799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inquisitor Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) The Farewell and both Idolmaster releases included the weapons bay, I have them in my stash. The Desert Storm one also got the weapon bay sprue according to the instruction manual. The Star & Stripes one I'm not so sure, since I sold it long time ago, but based on the Scalemates timeline it was released before the GBU-27 boxing where they added the new parts. Their standard white box no matter which year re-release don't include the weapons bay and gbu-27 sprues. Edited February 22 by Inquisitor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
