cheers i have put the F-117 on the backburner, once i get back into it more i will try to finish it, i was never good at putting decals on 20 years ago. now started a new project

thinking of giving it up the paint work is poor and the decals are far to small

well work is progressing slowly the basic kit is assembled and filled the gaps as previously mentioned and gave it a coat of matt black just to check for any more gaps,then gave it a rub down with very wet n dry paper, filled the rest of the gaps the wing to fuselage join looks a lot better,due to its angular shape the sanding is easy with a little help from the grilfriends old nail polisher which turns out is ideal for modelling....loads of different attachments,its basically a mini dremmel fitted the wheels and dry fitted the glass,which i painted without masking as it would be hard to mask at this scale,it has a bad fit but looking here it seems the real one does too,but i will shave a mill off the base for a good fit so far im enjoying it a few little problems but im sure i can get over these thanks for looking as always any help or tips are most welcome

with a cheeky drink and a smoke i have realised this is just a F-117 its angular its black..........what can go wrong?

cheers cuprar the filling of the gaps is doing my head in i think im out of my depth!

done thanks

im finding the fit very bad,some very large gaps between the wings and fuselage,though nothing a bit of filler cant solve

now thats a nice plane is the fuselage decals or self painted?

thought i would share my first kit in 20 years! the last model i made was the Tamiya Bradley sadly discontinued only the iraq 03 version is available now. im lucky to have modellers world in halifax on my doorstep,the place has not changed in 20 years,same staff,same cramped shop with masses of kits piled high.i only had hour........plenty i thought but stepping inside the shop i realised i did not have enough time!what to get? i needed something simple and that requires not a vast range of paints as im starting from scratch, so having to build up paints,brushes etc......... i went for the Airfix 1/72 F-117A along with revell glue which seems to sets quicker than i remember along with acrylic paints which i have never used before...........its going to be interesting to see how i get on terrible gap here so filled with plastic padding(i know the filler looks rough but easy to tidy up) insides given the 1st coat need to find a good photo of the seat thanks for looking any advice would be most welcome

very nice i have just bought this..........my first kit in 20 years
