Hasegawa 531 1/72 F-117A Nighthawk (U.S. Air Force Stealth Fighter/Attacker)

Model Kit

First revealed to the public in 1988 after years of secrecy, the F-117A was the world’s first operational stealth aircraft, designed to evade radar detection and strike with precision. Famously deployed during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the Nighthawk proved the effectiveness of stealth technology, delivering laser-guided munitions with pinpoint accuracy against heavily defended targets.

This 1/72 scale kit from Hasegawa faithfully reproduces the Nighthawk’s distinctive faceted shape and cutting-edge design, making it a standout piece for modelers fascinated by Cold War innovation and 21st-century airpower.
