Well, I fancy another one! I enjoyed my first 1/144 build so much that I fancy doing another . . . What's that, Mark? A reason? 1. I enjoyed my first, I want to do another 1/144 straight away! 2. Never built a F-117A before, so now's as good a time as any! ![]() ![]() ![]() Let's get this funny-looking thing built! |

Revell's cockpit is impressive given the scale. I didn't expect a 3-part bang seat:![]() Add in the tub, stick, IP, 3 decals and a lick o' paint, you get this: ![]() ![]() And then, you assemble the 9 pieces of the main airframe, and this: ![]() ![]() is the result. There will now follow a short intermission while I obtain some paint, some Revell No.9 acrylic, Anthracite, which is an off-black that no-one else has an equivalent to. Humbrol will tell you that 32 Dark Grey is their equivalent, but that's nowhere near dark enough . . . |

Thanks, Mark, I never knew Tamiya had an equivalent, but since I can get Tamiya paint more easily than Revell, I'll go with the 2-star T! |

Well, the benefits of 1/144 just keep on coming! The F-117A is finished already! Due to the small size and quick-drying acrylic paint, she's been gloss-coated, decalled and matt-coated in one evening! She even sits on her wheels without noseweight! More pics in the gallery!
