F-117
Posted by Deltarickmodels on Saturday, June 18, 2011 8:25 PM

I'm starting to build the Monogram 1/48 F-117 Nighthawk.  I know there are better kits out there, but this is what's on my shelf.  My question is, are there "panel" lines on a F-117?  A couple of websites and walk around photos do seem to show them, but since this is a different bird I don't want to add some thing that the real plane doesn't have.  Assuming that there are panel lines, does anyone have recommendations for good websites for line drawings? Thanks in advance for your help.

IIRC, panel lines are supposed to be puttied and sanded smooth on the F-117. They reflect back RF energy. The only real panel lines that can be seen are on ones that open such as theair refueling receptacle, landing gear and weapons bay doors, etc.
