F`s are my favs Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thx Brett. Yep, I'll take good care of them with the oil canning effects. Uilleann and Brett M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Wow. The canopy looks amazing. I’m not much of a jet guy but I do have this kit. I’m collecting the 117 bits as I see them pop up from time to time. I should really look to pick up this canopy sometime.

Palm-tree Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Nice work.....keep going.... My own F-117 build has been stalled for several years now waiting for a decent picture or schematic of the parachute bay ( open configuration) to become available so as to model the interior structure and chute deployment cradle. Can anyone help here please? F`s are my favs and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi & Thx! I can find good pix only of the closed bay, for example this one: and only one of the "empty" bay which at least shows its dimensions and shape, and where the mounting point for the parachute could be: Dany Boy and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palm-tree Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The photos are pretty rare. You are correct the central cutout appears where the chute is anchorred but if you look closely there are two arms - the lighter areas on either side of the bay further aft- are they something to help the chute deploy correctly without compromising the controllability of the ruddervators?

But maybe it would be possible that the ropes of the chute scratched those areas in some cases... I have no edea. Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palm-tree Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Think I read this in an F-117 manual somewhere.... still the chute bay evades us. Tried asking the USAF museum if they had any pictures of theirs but they are not interested in replying to modellers. Probably too many requests and not sufficient resources to handle them all?

Palm-tree Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Brian was working on an F-117 model and a replacement intake grill set in 1/32 but nothing has happened so far Uilleann, Troy Molitor and F`s are my favs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
