Description
The F-117, known as the world's first operational stealth fighter, was deployed and operated by the U.S. Air Force from 1983 to 2008.
Its unique design, comprised of a complex combination of planforms, included a radar-absorbent coating on its surfaces.
It was powered by two F404-GE-F102 turbofan engines. Its exhaust ports were positioned at the top of the fuselage, and its unique design included slots to dissipate radiant heat and diffuse heated air. It was
designed and engineered by Skunk Works, known for developing a variety of classic aircraft. Its superior stealth capabilities resulted in
its combat debut in the 1989 invasion of Panama. It later achieved significant success in the 1991 Gulf War, leveraging its stealth capabilities in a nighttime attack on Baghdad defense facilities.
This 1/144 scale plastic assembly kit recreates the F-117, the world's first operational stealth fighter, operated by the U.S. Air Force.
This kit includes a bonus embroidered patch featuring the Skunk Works logo.
The finished model measures approximately 140mm in length. The parts are manufactured by Dragon, renowned for their sharp finish, and the set includes parts for two aircraft.
The unique design of the aircraft is a highlight of the model. The kit is modeled based on the initial image from the original release documents.
Not only does it recreate the exterior, but the cockpit interior also features seating. The landing gear parts are also meticulously modeled. The model
can be assembled in either flying or parked mode.
The set includes markings for the aircraft with the Skunk Works logo on the underside, as well as markings for aircraft that served in the Gulf War.
The decals are manufactured by Cartograf, an Italian company renowned for their high quality. The embroidered patch's design is based on the Skunk Works logo on the underside of the aircraft.
