Another in my recent voyage into simple WhIfs (no backstory): a Lockheed F-117A of the Royal Air Force as used during the Iraq campaign, 2003.

Please, sir...........

I'm better at assembling words rather  than assembling styrene.  Please may I take your excellent piece of work and try to produce a backstory appropriate to it?   If you already have the matter under way, I'll simply await your opus.

Looks so much better in that scheme than in black. Well done mate  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Did they re-paint them in camo when they came back to UK after the war?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Nice one Zak, I ""had"" a plan on doing the Airfix two-tone grey one in an RAF scheme, I think I'll go RCAF instead now --   :wacko:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Rheged - please do so!

Thanks all. I got this kit a couple of years ago and built it but stalled on the paint. I didn't want to do black, at first I thought about green and grey RAF...but this just kinda happened!

Thanks, Zac. I hope my backstory will match your modelling skills.
