Reviews : Trumpeter F-117A NIGHTHAWK

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.

Very quick build. Comes out looking great. The balance of the model is a bit off, though, and--assuming I didn't misread the instructions--the model will tilt back on its tail if unsupported. I had to fasten a clear piece onto the back to function as a crutch to keep it upright and on its 3 landing gears. I don't really notice the crutch much, though, given how striking the rest of the model is.

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.

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.

This is a fun little kit to put together while you're working on something bigger. Pro tip, add some weight to the nose before joining the halves to balance it.

The kit is about as simple as it gets, easy to assemble, easy paint job. Not the most detailed, but not too much flash beyond the engines.

I mean good enogh. Not great but good Pros: cheap aircraft, good plastic Cons: bad fit decals are blue???? oh well its fine

Good kit that's great for a relaxing weekend. Price is great for the wallet too.
