1/48 Tamiya F-117A

Gallery Article by Albert Moser

 

The Tamiya kit of this plane is quite well done. I built it out of the box and there were no problems.

Then I made the photos like usual. A black surface where you should recognize the lines or the washing and so on is difficult to photograph. The best light I think is in the late evening.

The photos from the model are taken against a grey background. Then it's easier to cut out the plane by using photoshop. The background for the ready photo is a dark sky because I am of the opinion this is the best fitting motif for the F-117.

To cut out the image of the plane is easy because there are one only straight lines, but it's difficult to get a realistic flying effect.
