I was wondering about the kit. about 70 percent of monogram/Revell kits have issues with fit or instruction flaws. You have to check these things carefully with these kits. Best wishes, will be watching.

🙁 Fortunately this kit has mainly straight edges, this will make corrections a little less tedious ... I hope ... Have fun anyway !!! 👍 🙂

So little update with the mesh insert fitted to the underside in place of the piece of transparency the kit comes with

Nice choice, i'm in! The photo-etch in the DLIR is not needed. Inside there, is a compartment with a round "eye". I never seen a fence on the glass.

Hi Airs Yes, the DLIR is indeed represented by a round eye but its behind a metal mesh, not a glass or perspex sheet on the real aircraft. So trying to reproduce that on this one 🙂

I like the mesh PE - really adds a lot to the airframe. Do you have mesh for the intakes too?

Thanks guys,
Aris, heres one, the mesh is finer than we can get but you see the idea

Thanks Augie, the detail is so minimal that makes your mesh look like a fence or something. By the way, have you ever seen an F-117 from up close? How did you noticed that detail on the FLIR? 😄

I know, not ideal but sometimes the not ideal is better than the alternative. I've known about the mesh for years after seeing one in the flesh.

I missed this one Aug's, looking good. Where do you get these things? LOL. I haven't seen a F-117 kit in ages.

That's explain the detail you added. Nice experience to see that machine in real.

When I saw the F-117 at an airshow, there were a bunch of USAF military police with big pointy guns all around it. Needless to say, I didn't get too close.

Looking promising Augie. I'm in and curious to see the progress.
By the way: many years ago I build a 117 too. Link here, maybe useful for you build. modellversium.de/gal..ighthawk-tamiya.html

looking good, did they change the number of teeth in the window for the FLIR from 3 -> 6 from prototype to production machines? Because in the pics you show you see 6 triangles

Bart not sure to be honest the pic I used as guide had 3 but others have 6 no biggy easy to rework

Not only the outline contour is unique but also the camo scheme, very well done 👍
