Nighthawk Build

Nighthawk Build

http://www.pctekreviews.com/Modding/...k_Build/01.jpg

My entry in Cooler Master Case Mod World Series 2018 #CMWS18 this time is a stealth build. NIGHTHAWK is a scratch build with a theme of the famous Stealth Fighter plane Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.

Being a big fan of stealth fighter plans, my idea this time is to make a open frame PC Case build with a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk fuselage on top.

First making the Nighthawk fuselage.
