The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk is one of the most iconic aircraft of the late Cold War era and the world’s first operational stealth attack aircraft.
Developed in total secrecy by Lockheed’s Skunk Works, the F-117A was designed to evade radar detection while delivering precision strikes against heavily defended targets.
Characterised by its distinctive faceted shape and radar-absorbing surfaces, the Nighthawk relied on stealth rather than speed or manoeuvrability.
It entered service with the United States Air Force in the early 1980s and gained worldwide recognition during Operation Desert Storm, where it played a critical role in the opening strikes of the conflict with remarkable accuracy and survivability.
Despite its unconventional appearance and designation as a “fighter,” the F-117A was strictly a ground-attack aircraft, carrying precision-guided munitions internally to maintain its low radar signature. Its success fundamentally changed modern air combat doctrine and paved the way for later stealth aircraft.
This model is an excellent choice for modellers interested in modern military aviation, advanced aerospace technology, and historically significant aircraft, offering a striking and instantly recognisable addition to any collection.

| Short Description | One of the most unusual aircraft to have ever taken to world skies, the F-117 Nighthawk was one of the spectacular aviation creations of Lockheed’s famous ‘Skunk Works’, a high-tech attack aircraft which benefited from the latest stealth technology. Officially retired by the US Air Force in 2008, these secretive aircraft proved too valuable to do without and are still being used to fly their highly classified missions to this day.
