Howdy michael,

You might want to look at these build reviews found here: Tamiya 1/48 F-117A Nighthawk

and here: Academy 1/48 F-117A Nighthawk . These are reviews from the "modelling madness" website. another site you might check would be HyperScale - An Online Magazine for Aircraft and Armour Modellers or Internet Modeler Scale Modeling Magazine February 2008 . But i believe the first link i gave you would be best. I didnt look at the latter sites for the model.

Hope this helps,

Greg

Michael,take a look on the shelves of your local motoring shop,there are some interesting bluish looking black rattle can sprays there,and once more they are acrylic,but best use a flat black base colour first.
