ModelArt offers 2 versions of their 1/72 scale F117: the Desert Storm version, which is mostly gray, and the American Flag version.

This 1/72 scale model has 4 1/2 pages of parts, 5 diagrams, and 1 page of assembly instructions (in English). I don't think this model will require any great feats of craftsmanship, but I expect putting together all the angled surfaces will be a challenge.
The instructions state there are some parts that need to be glued to 0.35 mm card. So, I laminated them to 1 layer of poster board, using Krylon Spray Adhesive. These parts are formers, stiffeners and landing gear tires.

Assembling this model requires a good scoring tool. There are a lot of score lines because the model is mostly straight lines. Where to score is indicated by short black lines on the outer border of the parts. I circled score indicator lines in red in the accompanying photo.
