I've ordered this from Lucky Model though can't determine if it has a weapons bay or not. Tried to find the sprue shots, but haven't found anything definitive of this kit number and I know not all Hasegawa kits had it. Also checked the usual suspects, Hobby Search (www.1999.co.jp) but they don't have that exact same kit number. So does anyone happen to know?

Hi there. I've built this kit last year. Overall not a bad model but as far as I remember there is no gun bay detail at all. I would recomend extra care on the upper wing assembly, I've spent a load of putty there. Thank god it was a gift for my cousin's girlfriend.

Thanks for the reply. It's said to be the best F-117 kit available, however looks like I've ordered the one without the bomb bays. Have Testor's F-117, and starting to wonder about a kit-bash...

...and looking at the Testors kit...the bomb bay is integral to the lower fuselage half, so that's a non-starter. Dang it for ordering the wrong kit!
