F-117A Nighthawk

[gamary]

Started on a new project. It's not as easy as I thought it would be...

nice start!

Key is going to be getting subtle highlights/shadows on the edges and a little discolouration of the paint to give it the depth it needs, good start though and obvious what it is! Look forward to seeing how you deal with it all.

This is one I thought about doing shortly but decided to forget about ASAP Look good Gaetan!

Go get 'em GM!! Don't forget I've posted some close-ups in the Gallery (page 11 of Lockheed Martin) for details.

a little discolouration of the paint to give it the depth it needs

Agreed, although it's even more than mere discolouration. The RAM material was applied in layers on the aircraft and had an irregular surface, which is often not very apparent on pictures.

@Joe: Thanks for letting me know about your close-up pictures, Joe. I don't have that many, and I've given up on the photo gallery some time ago...

You have so many good pictures. Have you ever thought of creating your own walk-around/photo website?

Which unit was the 'WIP' unit, never seen those markings on a F-117

Looking good and already the changes make a huge difference. Nice detailing in the cockpit as well.

More work done. Getting closer to the end.

It might not look like it but I've added a couple extra hours of work to it:


I've added the FLIR, some detail on the wings and nose, some stencilling and other things that are barely visible. Why am I even bothering?
