About product

Resin cockpit detail set F-117A Nighthawk (1:48)

A detail set in resin intended to refine the cockpit of a model of the American Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk attack aircraft in 1:48 scale markedly. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the simplified cockpit from the plastic kit with a more faithfully cast cockpit tub, instrument panel, side consoles and ejection seat. Aires cockpit sets usually also include small photo-etched parts and instrument film. The result is a noticeably more realistic pilot area with the canopy open.

The real subject

The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk was the first combat aircraft designed from the outset with the emphasis on low radar observability. Its faceted, angular shape scattered radar waves and its black finish made it an icon of night strikes. The subsonic machine relied on stealth and precision-guided munitions.

Assembly and usage tips

First wash the mold release residue off the parts, and only then glue and paint them. Cut the casting blocks off carefully with a saw and sand the cut faces. Glue resin with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), as ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin. Before fitting, the fuselage of the kit usually needs slight adjustment, which is why the set suits more experienced modelers. Sand wet and protect your airways.

Who the set is for

  • More experienced modelers building the F-117A in 1:48 scale.
  • Builders who want an open cockpit with a faithful interior.
  • Enthusiasts of modern American aircraft and stealth technology.

This is a resin accessory, not a model and not a stand-alone kit. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin cockpit detail set that refines the interior of your F-117A plastic kit. The base model has to be obtained separately.

With cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin. First wash the mold release agent off the parts and cut off the casting blocks.

The set is better suited to more experienced modelers, as it usually calls for slight adjustment of the fuselage so that the cockpit fits exactly.
