Just purchased this kit on gumtree. So now I'm researching it before the build. I'm glad you said it was fun. I was also just expecting a simple build, only paid 4.50 for it. Glad to hear it's gonna be a fun one.
While I was in the USAF, I was stationed out at Holloman, AFB, New Mexico with the 49MMS. I used to see the 8th and 9th fighter squadron Nighthawks all the time, as well as Luftwaffe Tornados. The 7th was disbanded just as I came on station in December 2000 but they kept their maintenance crew around, I guess they were too valuable to just transfer to an Eagle or Warthog squadron. I did have an opportunity to be up close to a Nighthawk once, the Testors and Revell kits are pretty close to the real thing.
Cool build of an unusual looking plane. It has a charm all its own.
Happy modeling. Bill
Nice build mate I used to love the f117 when I was a kid! Thanks for sharing
