Starting a new project. Since this kit was brought out before the B-2 was public, I thought I would make it into a fictional experimental plane in aluminum. What do you guys suggest?

Or perhaps I will paint it like the space shuttle. Any ideas?

Space shuttle sounds interesting.

The shuttle scheme would look great on it, the the shape of this kit lends well to it.

What would a future robot plane look like?

I'm debating whether or not to square off the wing tips and add Winglets. What do you guys think?
29 August 2020, 18:08
Skyhiker
Decided to go with the Winglets.

Cut the wings, and spent most of the day thinning the flaps and ailerons.

Reminds of the Revell F-19 I think it was before the F-117 appeared properly... and found it SCM Search: Lockheed F-19 stealth fighter*

Yes, I made a F-19 last year. It came out well.

You can do whatever you want on this baby. LOL No one can say it isnt correct.😉

Personally I think that would be wicked cool in a NMF.

What's NMF stand for?

Natural Metal Finish.

Skyhiker
Yes, that's what I was thinking.

Nice work. I also have this kit in the stash. Agree on the winglets just because! 🙂

Skyhiker
Yes I thought the rounded wings just looked wrong.

Scratch built vertical stabilizers attached and panel lines finished.

Nice job with vertical stabilizers and panel lines 👍

Thank you, Cuajete. I'm working it out.

Looks great, I've always liked this model, actually I like it more that the "real" B-2.

Skyhiker
Thanks Jeremy, I think it looks a lot like the early Horten designs that were never produced. But the Hortens never designed anything this big. Jack Northrop made a few this size.

Superb work for such a large surface. This is better than going to the gym 😛

Skyhiker
Thank you Cuajete. I hope it pays off in the end. I realized that I scratched the bottom surface in a few areas and will have to see what I can do about that next. I also sanded a spot past the paint which could become a major problem at this stage. It's one big adventure.

Hoping to see this finished some day, looks great so far!
