Print Scale 48-112 Decal Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-112 Waterslide Decals are made for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) plastic model builds of the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk. This Part 2 sheet focuses on aircraft codes and nose-art style markings associated with F-117A airframes used during the 1991 operational period, alongside supporting national markings and stenciling elements suitable for a low-visibility finish.

The F-117A is a single-seat stealth attack aircraft known for its faceted airframe and minimal external markings. For modelers, this means careful placement of subtle codes and small details is often what defines a convincing finished replica in 1/48 scale.

This set is intended to help recreate specific documented marking combinations for F-117A subjects from the early 1990s timeframe. It can be used with any compatible 1/48 F-117A kit, with attention recommended for alignment on sharp panel edges and around the canopy area.

FAQ

Does this set include a full stencil suite for the F-117A?

The package includes a dedicated technical stencils placement diagram and marking elements intended for the subjects shown, but kit decals or additional stencil sources may still be used depending on the specific model and finish you are aiming for.

Which F-117 variant is this sheet intended for?

The marking options shown are for the single-seat F-117A Nighthawk in 1/48 scale.

What paint scheme works best with these markings?

The subjects are typically presented with low-visibility markings that are designed to sit over a dark airframe finish. A smooth gloss coat before decals and a sealing coat after application will help reduce silvering on the faceted surfaces.

Is this decal set compatible with any 1/48 F-117 kit?

Yes. It is suitable for any 1/48 scale F-117A kit with standard marking layout and proportions; minor adjustments may be needed depending on the manufacturer’s panel lines and surface detail.

Is this set suitable for beginners?

It is generally better suited to experienced modelers because of the precise alignment needed on angular surfaces and the presence of small codes and detail markings.
