- In various articles many people write:
-
- Use various powders or films to make the gold canopy on the F-117.
-
- I'd point out that the Revell kit uses yellow tinged clear plastic
- and it looks really good.
-
- At the scale of the models that are available, the gold flakes that
- would be used to simulate this would have to be monatomic sized particles
- to stay in scale. In other words, it's impossible. Look at the
- Revell kit and compare it to the pictures, you'll probably realize
- it's close enough.
-
- There's times when you can't be exactly perfect when building a model...
