About this item
The F-117A Nighthawk (affectionately known by its pilots as the "Blackjet") is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in aviation history. At 16.5 inches long, this 1:48 scale model perfectly captures the sharp, "faceted" angles that made this aircraft invisible to radar.

The Invisible Legend of the Skies
Step into the world of "black projects" and Skunk Works innovation with this premium 1:48 scale replica of the F-117A Nighthawk. Developed in complete secrecy by Lockheed Martin, the Nighthawk was the world's first operational aircraft designed entirely around stealth technology.
Unlike traditional jets built for speed or maneuverability, the F-117 was built to disappear. This Executive Series model honors the "Ghost of the Desert" with a heavy, high-quality resin build that highlights the unique geometric surfaces used to baffle enemy radar systems.

A Revolution in Aerospace Engineering
The F-117A Nighthawk changed the face of modern warfare. First flown in 1981 but kept hidden from the public until 1988, it was the primary strike aircraft used to dismantle air defenses during Operation Desert Storm. Its shape was so radical at the time that engineers nicknamed it the "Wobblin' Goblin," yet it proved to be one of the most effective and precise attack aircraft in the U.S. Air Force arsenal before its retirement.
