Revell F-117 1/72

[Borisz]

Hello!
I decided to build this toy, since I wanted a quick and joyful build. But I have to face with the reality that this kit is more or less fictive.

 

 

As I still dont want to spend much effort to the building, decided to close the bomb bay, because inother case I could spend weeks on this single area. But... I dont know it would looks unfamiliar for me. How do you know, is it possible for an F-117 to open only one door? Or it is working only simultaneously?

Help me please!

As it suffers from a lot of incorrectness i just take care of the major mistakes. I'd like to be quick this time.

Hi!
This is my progress for now.

 

 

 

Some hours of sanding are waiting for me. The windshield cracked so I had to cut pieces from a clear plastic sheet.

Anyway, as I see on many photos, these planes were "light black". I'm wondering, what color should I use? Maybe Revell's antracite? Graphite black fom Gunze? Perhaps normal black? Realy unsure I am.
