For being just my second resin kit, Anigrands Have Blue kit was just as good as the first one. The whole kit consists of few parts and two decals. Aside from the four color paint scheme, this build was a breeze. Even all the masking involved wasn’t too labor intensive.
Unlike the YF-17 that I am currently working on, the Have Blue almost put itself together. The instructions are not the greatest to follow but thanks to the internet, I made it through unscathed. The paint scheme required the most work out of the whole kit with plenty to mask and cut out. It was definitley worth it.
Yes, the paint is great. Nice job!

Amazing paint scheme… requiring lots of patience I would imagine?

Thank you! When I mask a camo pattern, it’s pretty basic as opposed to freehand which I normally do. The mask provides a barrier so I don’t ruin the paint underneath. It’s just a time consuming project.

I hadn’t realized how much like an F-117 this would be. I’ve seen some of the other stealth development projects at The Air Force Museum, but this has much more family resemblance than most of the others.

Yeah. The F-117 is pretty much just a beefed up Have Blue. The vertical stabilizers differ as well as the size. I don’t know if you can tell the size in the picture but it is a remarkable difference. When I finish the F-117, I will photograph them together.

Interesting paint scheme. Is this what was used on the original aircraft?

Yes. There was another built and painted in an overall light grey scheme.

My god, that looks fabulous. I didn’t realize Have Blue had camo like that. I thought it was just black like the F-117. That is really a beautiful airplane.

Thank you! They made two of these and the other was in light grey. Somewhere down the line they figured out that black was stealthier.

What a great looking build! Those early ‘Skunk Works’ projects are really something and its not often easy to bring them to life like you have done here, Impressive.
