The P-51B Miss Pelt is one of many Mustang models offered by Dave's Card Creations. The Miss Pelt was flown in World War 2 by Tuskegee Airman Lt. Clarence "Lucky" Lester. This model has 5 pages of parts and 3 pages of assembly instructions with several construction diagrams. Features include a...

The Have Blue kit reminded me of a Fiddlers Green airplane model. It is basically just fuselage and wing skins with simple landing gear. I managed to make the top of the model looked ok, but the bottom had odd high and low spots. The model could definitely use some internal formers and/or...

Here is a comparison of an F-117 (top) and the Have Blue (bottom). Both are 1/50 scale models.

There are two white areas at the rear of the fuselage (see green arrows) to show where to place the stabilizers. Once the stabilizers were installed the model became back heavy. I fixed this by gluing a piece of lead solder into between the doors of the front landing gear. If I had known...

There was no guidance to aid in the installation of the landing gear. I assumed the 3 dark gray spots with white circles on the underside of the fuselage were locations for the landing gear (see the red circles). The dark gray areas defined the simulated landing gear wells and indicated where...

Each of the 3 landing gear has 3 parts.

There are narrow (2 mm wide) glue tabs on the edges of the bottom half of the fuselage (see the red arrow) to mate the fuselage halves together. I placed them as shown in the photo and glued the left edges together. I started at the front and worked my way to the rear. After the left edge...

The top half of this model's fuselage consists of 8 parts (part nos. 12-16L). I forgot to take a photo before I joined them so I added yellow lines to show the boundaries of the parts. Here's what the printed side of the top and bottom of the fuselage looks like when assembled. There were...

I did a web search for the Quiet Bird after you mentioned it. It is very cool looking.

The Have Blue was a unique aircraft. It was much smaller than an F-117, had a different tail configuration and had no bomb bay. Only 2 Have Blues were made. The first one had the camo paint job and the second had an all-gray paint job. The aircraft was built and flown purely for research and...

The Lockheed Have Blue was a technology demonstrator used to design the Lockheed F-117. I am a fan of stealth aircraft. So, when I saw this 1/50 scale model, I bought it immediately. As far as I know, this is the only 1/50 scale paper model of the Have Blue. This is a simple model that has 35...

I would be interested in seeing a build thread for these models.

In a recent aircraft "Model Build" thread (https://www.zealotmodels.com/threads/modelart-f117-desert-storm-1-48-scale.182405/ ) , Zathros suggested cutting out windows on aircraft without interiors and adding plastic windows. Then blacking out the interior. I am thinking about trying this...

Each bomb has 26 parts.This was my first attempt at making a bomb or missile. I think it looks ok. The bombs installed into the bomb bay. Here's a comparison shot of the F117 American Flag version in 1/72 scale (bottom) and the Desert Storm version in 1/48 scale (top).The 1/72 scale...

Installed the tail assembly and the 4 probes on the nose. The last step is to make the two bombs for the bomb bay in the underside of the model.

Mating the top and bottom sections of this model took awhile because I glued one of the top's facets to the bottom and let it dry before moving on to the next facet. The top part of the fuselage's nose is glued in place after the top and bottom section are mated together. Landing gear and...

I haven't watched the Andor series yet (or this year's Mandalorian episodes) so that explains my confusion. Thank you Rhaven Blaack and Mijob for educating me.

I have watched the Star Wars movies at least twice, but I haven't heard of a data card until now. Could someone please explain what it is for?

Here's the top half of the F117's fuselage. Top view: Bottom view: The triangular shaped parts (see the yellow arrows), which are laminated to poster board, strengthens the assembly.

Here's the bottom half of the fuselage with wings finished. Top view: Bottom view:
