NZ_Grant Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Thanks Stav! Is this a common scheme, replacing the normal black aircraft? Link to post Share on other sites
hawkhornet Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Thanks Stav!Is this a common scheme, replacing the normal black aircraft? i dont think so That aircraft was owned by the 53rd test and evaluation group. They were testing it to see if it could also be used in daytime. The paint sheme is alot like the f-22's camo. stav Link to post Share on other sites
PhthaloType Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The paint sheme is alot like the f-22's camo. I believe they used the exact same paint. I wish they would go with this scheme, or a similar one. Lockheed planned on gray for the 117 in the first place, but the Air Force wanted black. A while back someone did a model of this. (Searching...) Here we are. Link to post Share on other sites

The paint sheme is alot like the f-22's camo. stav I was actually under the impression that the evaluation proved the new scheme a sucess and I thought the idea was for further grey F-117. However that was nearly a year ago...........does anyone know anything more? Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 (edited) No, it's not the new standard scheme...not yet anyway. It's still under evaluation at Holloman AFB. I built a 1/72 Hase version last year, if you were IPMSUSA nats last year you probably saw it:Grey Dragon I'd forgotten all about that model Habu!... don't suppose you still have the artwork do you?,i'd love aset of those in 1/48.. the grey jet they had a Edwards would be nice too,but i've never seen many clear pics of it :( Edited April 10, 2005 by mungo1974 Link to post Share on other sites

mungo1974 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 i'm not 100% sure but i think they are the same used on the Mod-Eagle F-15C/D's FS36176 Dark Gull Grey FS36251 Grey wasn't Revell/Monogram suppost to re-pop their F-117 in the 'Dragon' scheme sometime this year?

mungo1974 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 found it: Revell Monogram F-117 Kit#855848 grey dragon Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Is that kit any good at all? the usual shape issues i belive,it's tempting too pick up the kit just for the decals and use them on the Tamiya kit ..it wouldn't be the first time i've gotten a bad kit just for a nice decal option Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I've never seen the Tammy kit. How does it compare the the Revellogram? Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 The Tamiya kit is, of course, better, but it also costs a lot more. The RevelloGram kit is no slouch, worth the ~$12-15 cost especially if it is the ProModeler verssion with the weapon bay. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I picked up the re-issued Revellogram F-117 "Dragon" the other day. Kit doesn't look too bad at a glance - but my big worry is the paint guide. FS3645 Light Gray and FS36375 Light Ghost Gray. Somehow, I just don't think that's right. Link to post Share on other sites

mmaker Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 If I remember correctly,F-117 In Action or Walkaround has 2 photos of some prototypes,one with a light grey and another with a two tone camo just like 36270/36118 Link to post Share on other sites
Vesper Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Here's a shot of one I grabbed at the '05 Barksdale AFB opehouse. / Gray F-117 on Ghostrider Aviation \ Ves :lol: Edited October 25, 2005 by Vesper Link to post Share on other sites

They look like the typical Revellogram decals. Markings for the Dragon when it flew the gray scheme (OT 85-835) and the same airframe when it flew out of Tonopah (TR 835) Interestingly, the light gray markings are the same throughout the sheet. That is, the same light gray national insignia you would use on the black finish, you would have to use on the dark Mod Eagle Gray finish. A fifth national emeblem is provided for the underside of the gray machine Link to post Share on other sites
