Skii Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yes me again. What have I done ? I've got a Testors F-117 that will be the basis of my next project, but I need to re-build the fuselage correctly, so a simple question - whats my cheapest option for an accurate smaller scale kit that I can use for reference as I rebuild this monster ? Airfix ? thanks J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike V I am sure can add more as he is really familiar with F-117s but if I am not mistaken, it is based loosely off the prototype which is smaller than the production jet in nearly every area. I believe facet angles and everything must be changed if you intend on bringing it up to production standards. Good luck dude!!

chadders Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just buy the Flightpath set, and it will at least correct the front and side facetts. The wings are a WHOLE different ball game. This kit will eat plastic card/Milliput/marriages. Beleive me I've tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
