F-117A NIGHTHAWK

Easy to assemble, good looking, and of great historical significance. I had some trouble with the “Etest Demonse” decals, so I decided not to include them. Kit goes together with ease and it’s lovely to see a pilot included in this scale. Details are to be expected of a 1/144 kit. Bombs are a nice addition, just make sure to cut the bay doors correctly.

The kit comes with surprising options like 2 laser guided bombs which can be displayed with the bomb bay open hanging on there racks. The plane can be built gear up or down. The cockpit has no detail but has a pilot. The kit is molded in light grey so get some flat black paint. The detail on the inlets is lame but everything else is good. the decals are okay but not great. The tail likes to wander as the glue dries so watch for that. If you build gear down it will want some weight in the nose due to the weight of the tails. The kit has few parts 12 parts not including optional parts. over all an okay kit for a unique plane.

This kit is perfect for building with a kid about......7-8 to 11-12 showing them how to totally finish a model kit: clippers, sandstick, tiny putty, panel liner and their favorite color. This kit provides a little project for in between projects.
