1/72 Academy F-117A Nighthawk

I'm mainly a gunpla modeller. But when I saw the Nighthawk, I instantly fell in love with it because it's so sexy.
This was also my first aircraft model kit. The frame of the canopy was painted black using industrial spray cans (those that are used for graffiti). The white interiors of the plane was also spray painted. The missiles were handpainted in Mr. Hobby Olive Drab. The body of the plane wasn't painted, it was just given a matt topcoat.

The tarmac was done according to one of the tutorials found in ARC. It is really informative and I feel I could do better in the future.
