Italeri 1/72 F-117A Nighthawk - Iconic Stealth in Scale

The Italeri 1/72 F-117A Nighthawk kit is a faithful small-scale representation of the stealth aircraft. The moulded components capture the Nighthawks distinctive angular form, providing a solid base for model makers focused on authenticity and finish.

Design Influence and Combat Use

The Lockheed F-117A brought specialised shaping and materials to the forefront of aircraft design, influencing later developments in low observability. This kit offers a window into those design choices for anyone interested in the evolution of military aviation technology.

Assembly Overview and Display Advice

In 1/72 scale the Italeri Nighthawk is well suited to shelf displays and model shows. Careful sanding of joins and a measured painting approach will accentuate the panels, while the supplied decals provide accurate insignia.

The kit offers good surface detail and accurate overall shape for the scale. Small elements are simplified, so additional aftermarket parts are an option for those seeking extra fidelity.
Yes, the kit requires adhesive. Plastic cement or liquid polystyrene glue gives strong bonds for most joints; use cyanoacrylate for small resin or metal additions if used.
Apply a gloss coat before decals to prevent silvering, then seal the decals with a clear matt or satin varnish to match the intended finish and protect markings.
