Academy 12475 - 1/72 F-117A Stealth Fighter Model Kit (AC 2107) - Display Ready Nighthawk  [AC-12475]

Scale Nighthawk Kit by Academy

The Academy 12475 - 1/72 F-117A Stealth Fighter model kit recreates the Nighthawk's sharp faceted lines and stealth form at 1/72 scale. Its parts are designed to give a neat finish and realistic surface detail when assembled carefully.

Form, Function and History

Known for pioneering stealth, the F-117A's angular profile is faithfully modelled here, capturing the aircraft's low-observable geometry. The kit highlights the Nighthawk's characteristic shape for model collections and study.

Tips for Building

Work with fine cutters and sanding tools to remove sprue marks cleanly. The cockpit and fuselage detail benefit from light wash techniques, and a flat black paint system will replicate the original finish.

Presentation Advice

Consider a small base or plaque to present the model; its silhouette reads well from a distance and it makes a compact centrepiece for a military display shelf.
