RMCS Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 This is my 50th build which was a present from my wife. The academy kit is quite basic and does need some enhancing. I used Eduard PE and some scratch building and the pilot was from PJ Models. Painted with Vallejo. The base was designed for me by Coastal kit display bases. The full build can be followed on: 40 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Stunning model and presentation! I can't believe how soon these were retired, they must still be almost immune to air defences, especially in less advanced, sandy target areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Superbly done, & well painted. Great idea for a base! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchXActo Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Nice model and presentation indeed! By the way, there is strong evidence that this beauty is back in service. Combat aircraft magazine did an article on this (may 2019). https://combataircraft.keypublishing.com/2019/02/27/f-117-nighthawk-still-out-there-still-flying-clearest-photos-yet/ https://combataircraft.keypublishing.com/2019/03/17/nighthawk-lives-on-exclusive-video/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Beautiful project and a lovely gift for the missus! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) A wonderful representation, my friend. It's a real tribute to your build and paint skills. Looking at the underside, there is a bit of ambiguity about which nation flew this airframe.... Germany or somewhere Eastern European, perhaps? Can anyone shed any light on this subject? Cheers. Chris. Edited August 15, 2019 by spruecutter96 Correcting a typo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdauben Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Really well done in that flashy and unusual "farewell" color scheme. Is the flag pattern on the bomb paint or a decal? Either way it must have been a bear to do! Amazing work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie(kinda) Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Should have gone with that scheme operationally; LOVE IT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Fantastic presentation! At that angle with the bombs out I can only imagine it stalled 5000ft ago and it's actually falling tail first 😂😂😂 You've really made me think again about changing my projected build of this aircraft, might have to add some badly needed colour! Great job Rich 👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
