Cobi Armed Forces /5901/ F-117 Nighthawk Model Kit

Created in 1:48 scale, this unique model will allow you to build your own version of the stealth aircraft that revolutionized the battlefield. The F-117 Nighthawk is an American tactical bomber, designed by Lockheed using stealth technology, which allows you to avoid detection by enemy radars. Although officially decommissioned in 2008, it remains one of the most fascinating and controversial military machines in history to this day. The F-117 made its debut in 1983 when the United States Air Force introduced it into service. Its unique design, characterized by sharp edges and flat surfaces, minimized radar echo, making it almost invisible to most radars. The aircraft gained fame during military operations such as Just Cause in Panama, Desert Storm in Iraq or Allied Force in Yugoslavia wherever precision and the element of surprise mattered. Even though the F-117 has been withdrawn from active service, there have been reports of its mysterious returns to military action over the years. This would be evidenced by photos of mysterious pixels appearing in the sky from time to time. The F-117 Nighthawk you can build now faithfully captures all the hallmarks of this extraordinary machine, from its geometric shape to its realistic technical details. It is not only great fun, but also a journey that will allow you to discover the backstage of modern aviation history.
