Very nice, it is a shame the aircraft's career was so short lived, but that is progress, or not for the Serbs for you.

Nice work sir  :thumbsup:

Sometimes when I look at an F.117 in plan view my brain thinks it's a swing wing aircraft with it's wings fully swept ? Wondering if that would be practical either as a model or even in the real world ?

Maybe the F-117'C' version perhaps? I know what you mean about the swept back look though  :lol:


And I'm planning on doing a UCAV version of the F-117, use it as a sacrificial lamb perhaps to knock out SAM sites or radar stations before the B-2 or the F-22s or F-35s move in for the rest of the strike?

That would halved been really cool if they had manufactured the b variant.

That looks terrific, the inward canted fins make it look suitably 'different' for an RAF version, like the big intakes on RAF Phantoms.  :thumbsup:
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

How about longer and nearly straight wings for a high altitude recon version?

The A/F-117X Seahawk (carrier-based variant proposed for the US Navy after the A-12 Avenger was axed) was supposed to have much less sweep and as a result, longer wingspan ;)
