                        Hi all,

                        I recently completed an Italeri 1/72-scale F-117A Nighthawk.  This is my second aircraft since getting back into modeling after a 20 year break.  This forum has been super helpful and I wanted to share a few photos and my experiences building this kit here.  Though I am relatively inexperienced, I'm hoping someone might find my write-up helpful. Thanks for having a look.  Also, if this is an inappropriate post/spam, please let me know.  Comments welcome!

                        Lookin' good!

                        I like the shading of black a lot! When I built this one (30 years ago) I didn't build it this good :-(

                        Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

                        Paweł

                        All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

                        A 20 year break doesn't seem to have affected your skills at all.  Nicely done!

                        Looks fantastic!  Black is hard to do and you pulled it off.

                        Thanks,

                        John

                        I like the shading as well! I built the Academy "Ghost of Bagdad" years ago and it's just flat black and boring...

                        *******

                        On my workbench now:

                        It's all about classic cars now!

                        Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?
