Indeed, it will be invisible once painted, my friend @gblair!
Provided that I will do a decent job, of course...
So, this beauty is smooth sanded, a bit of masking to be performed and off to the paint shop!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ditto for me, Spiros (@fiveten). Looking forward to the paint and the decals.

Thanks for stopping by friends @johnb, @gblair and @jpatt1000.

Yes, my nephew has become very impatient once he saw it unpainted, but otherwise "almost done".

Fitting scratch build intake screens admittedly crossed my mind; however, since this is by default highly innscurate as an F-117, I decided to leave the intakes "as is", with the molded splitter plates visible.

Yes, Josh, it is interesting that a mainstream Have Blue does not exist. It would not be a bad idea for a company to invest in such a mold.

Painting to be commenced soon on the "F-117"!

Painted!

...my Kawasaki KLE at the backgorund 🙂
The model was painted all at once, it is merely resting with its outer most fin tips at the back, and with its maskedcanopy parts onto a contact lenses base a friend gave me...this is weird...I still cannot figure out how I managed to paint it all at once...
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks my friend @airbum!
Yep safe distance was kept, it was painted far away, just dries close to the bike, as today it's raining and I cannot leave the Nighthawk-ish outside!

Thanks my friend @johnb!
I have a smaller Suzuki cub for my "everyday" moves, so the Kawasaki can stay in, nice and shiny, taken out on good weather!

Thanks my friend @gblair!
Yes, sometimes, as here, it is really challenging to paint the whole model: no "neutral" spot to hold it from, whatsoever!

A true black beauty, Spiros @fiveten.
Paint and decals are spot on.
