    1/32 Trumpeter F-117A Nighthawk - in 45 Days!?!?

    The raised diamonds on the bomb bay doors are accurately represented.  They were present on the actual jets as bumpers when the doors opened quickly in flight, and served as a sort of bumper against the doors hitting each other with the A/C in flight.  They are visible in many images of the underside, such as this example:

    Hope that might be helpful!

    Great picture. A little too late for Matt's doors.

    To get in on the debate about the "ripple effect" ive seen alot of birds in and out of service, and ive seen deformed panels. Not over the entirety of the a/c but in certain areas. I'm in no way a scientist or an engineer but I would assume at the speeds these planes are reaching just the friction from the passing air would cause certain panels to heat and thus become deformed.... but what do i know. Either way i look at what we all do as art more than anything and there are no rules etched in stone for art. Going to look great no matter what!

    Cockpit looks great! I love the seats.

    Thanks. Its pretty sparce so im gonna do my best to hide it under the canopy. The seats are the main things visible. Although it looks like im gonna have to raise the rio. Looks way too low.

    I scored two sliding-front display cases from a local Hallmark store a few years ago. They're badly in need of a retooling of the shelving inside, but they do the job well enough.

     

    As for the finishes from the build reviews, they become paint mules. Though the Kitty Hawk Su-17 I'm wrapping up right now (first four parts HERE) will probably be going straight into the trash!

    Turn it into a forgotten deralict. In some god awful wasteland.. sounds like where KH's head was at when the engineered it anyway.

    A small update. Got some of the pit finished up. I was debating going all out and scratch building some of the "forgotten" detail but out of laziness decided to throw it together and leave the canopy down as there is no detail on them either.

    Great progress so far. I may have misunderstood so please excuse me if I am wrong, however if you are planning to build this one as a NAVY bird, I have to disappoint you as the "long nose" phantom (F-4E,F,G) have not (at least to my knowledge) served with the US NAVY. The NAVY used the "short nose" F-4B/N/J/S as far as I can remember.

    Yes sir you are correct. Lets call it a "what if".

    The white walls and interior are whats killing my mojo on it. Ive got the interior built and primed just cant decide what to do with it... btw i completely destroyed the windshield while i was trimming it to fit. So its on hold right now.
