TRUMPETER F-117A Nighthawk 1/144 [Build Review]

[@Catlover-kz8pj]

Excellent video - thanks! This Trumpeter kit a much better kit than the 1/144 Revell. The Revell has incorrect nose contours ahead of the cockpit and no engine outlets (!) Strange, the Revell kit also has bad engine air intakes like this Trumpeter kit. You made a nice job of this model, the paint finish is particularly nice.

rumor says the US claimed they "mistook" the GPS co-ordinate and bombed the Chinese embassy was because the self destroying sequence of the shot down F-117 didnt go through and continued sending back its GPS co-ord to mission control. and the USAF followed that GPS data to destroy the remains of the plane; (no one in the mission actually knew the co-ordinate was the chinese embassy, they were just following the data the GPS gave them) and it turned out it was at 6 storeys below ground of the Chinese embassy, but the bomb didnt go all that deep and some of the plane remains survived, thats how the Chinese got hold of the stealth tech and made their versions of stealth fighter.

I've got 4 of these I want to make a diorama!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Sounds interesting! Can I see it when it's done?

[@swing.wing_singh]

Beautiful finish. Even I am surprised they gave decals for an aircraft that was shot down over Yugoslavia. Why would they do that? I'd rather have had the bomb bay doors open to show the bombs. Good end result though

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks! Unfortunately a bit of silvering on the decals. I don't know why they chose those decals, a strange decision.
