1/144 U.S.F-117Nigh thawk
Trumpeter 1/144 F-117A Nighthawk is a plastic kit of the American stealth attack aircraft. The faceted shape of the real aircraft is unmistakable even in small scale. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft designed from the outset for the lowest possible radar signature. Its fuselage and wings are made up of flat facets that deflect radar waves away from the transmitter. The US Air Force operated it from 1983 to 2008; it was revealed to the public only in 1988 and saw combat in Panama and the Gulf War, among other operations.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/144 scale results in a model about 14 cm long. The faceted shape is unmistakable even in small scale, and the finished model fits well into a collection of American Cold War aircraft or small-scale types.
The matt black finish, also worn by the finished model in the manufacturer's photos, needs subtle variation in tone or sheen between the facets so that the shape does not disappear. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: USA. Period: Cold War, Present day.
