1/48 Monogram/Pro Modeller F-117 questions..


Recommended Posts

I will be starting my 1/48 Monogram/Pro Modeller F-117 soon.

I wanted to know what I can do about the cockpit to improve it. Is there any resin still available for this kit?

Also, perhaps I should at least replace the wheels with a set of resin "late wheels"?

I plan on painting it in the gunship gray scheme on the Two Bobs "48-279 F-117A Return from the Dead" sheet.
F-117A Return from the Dead

I will also be replacing the GBU-10's with better ones from my weapons stash.

Any other suggestions on building kit?

Thanks for any help and advice you can give me to improve the kit.

I used a Quickboost ejection seat and kept the canopy closed. Be prepared for major seam work as well as significant gaps to fill on the bottom. Also, FWIW, Monogram missed a facet in each of the oblique areas forward of the tail. The PE pieces for the large intake screens are a sketchy fit.
