Lockheed F-117 - Halinski 1:33
After many months (years?) on which I haven't post a new build thread, I present here my current project: the famous Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, (representation of a machine of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing of the 12th Air Force Tactical Air Command, USAF, Tonopah Test Range, Nevada, was flown by Col. Al Whitley ) of Halinski-publishing (Military Model Nr.1-2/2000) in scale 1:33.
The camouflage of the aircraft was in the first place by types of so-called "brilliant cut (which reduces the radar cross section). These include as many flat surfaces that emit a small part of radar energy in many different directions. Even the wings of the F-117A are facet cut and not arched. The entire plane is covered with radar absorbent material (RAM). |

For this model, I didn't go the usual way of building it (cockpit, fuselage, etc); but I went first to the bombs. Two laser-guided GBU-27 Paveway III.
But hold... did you notice? There is no front fins for the second bomb!! I have to make copies of those to use them on the second bomb. |

YES!
I have seen this model put together in a Polish website - can't remember which one. Good Kit! I think the key to a successful build of the Nighthawk will be to use a straightedge for cutting/bending. Don't free-hand the cuts - use a straightedge.... but you already knew that. I have this model, but am hesitant to cut on it. It's not that I am afraid to build it, it's just that I consider it too beautiful to cut! Ken |

Now... let's begin with the bomb bays. These are the parts on the sheet.
Now let's begin with the "cranes". Last edited by milenio3; 01-19-2010 at 04:03 PM. |
