History :
The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth attack aircraft that was developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The F-117 was based on the Have Blue technology demonstrator, and was the first operational aircraft to be designed around stealth technology. The maiden flight of the Nighthawk took place in 1981, and the aircraft achieved initial operating capability status in 1983. The Nighthawk was shrouded in secrecy until it was revealed to the public in 1988.
The F-117 was widely publicized for its role in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Although it was commonly referred to as the "Stealth Fighter", it was strictly an attack aircraft. F-117s took part in the conflict in Yugoslavia, where one was shot down by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) on 27 March 1999; it was the only Nighthawk to be lost in combat. The U.S. Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the F-22 Raptor. Sixty-four F-117s were built, 59 of which were production versions, with the other five being demonstrators/prototypes.

@BaconRoll oh yes they are cool gunam wing! Rocks
@Storm41 ah it’s okay my friend, I’ve stuck with Gundam kits only nowadays
@BaconRoll try monogram-revell , Italeri model catalogs
@ChaMikey I found one, the Revell Snaptite kit, and no problem, it's a good plane!
@BaconRoll agreed, , Im sure theres a good model kit somewhere. hope you find one dudee, and thank you!
Ahh, the Nighthawk. One of my all-time fave stealth planes. I can never find a good model kit of it!
@F104Deathtrap couldnt they really? thats actually funny and interesting lol. no other aircraft screams 80's more than the nighthawk imo. and thanks man!
I heard Lockheed made this thing with all flat surfaces because the computers they used to design it back in the 70's couldn't handle curves, I wonder if that's true. Anyway, awesome pick for a low-poly build, great work. ~~EDIT~~ You might wanna fix the bay doors so that they don't kill you if you hit VTOL up.
@Caesarblack ahh i see lol, i tried to make it to scale as possible, thanks for noticing that!
@ChaMikey i mean the scale...your one are the most realistic (:з」∠)
@Caesarblack aww thanks man! im sure theres a more detailed one than mine though!
That's the most realistic F-117 I'v seen on this website, gj man(:з」∠) （also the most fluent XD
@ChaMikey no problemo 😁
