Many years ago when I had hair I tried to build one, bad idea ! The parts were so bad the kit ended up as a firecracker target ! I'm 68 now and still have one in my stash ! Your build brings back nightmares of endless tubes of Squadron putty and sheets of sandpaper I went through. You are a brave man !

Thanks for sharing Joe but subject matter is king. We just had to do it! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers!

Longtime modeler, 50+ years, but I never heard of this kit. I will be looking for it. Smaller model looks like a Curtiss P-40. I'm building a couple now.

Built that kit back in the 90s in my teen years- you'll need lots of putty putting those outer wing pieces on the main fuselage but otherwise it turns out to be a pretty nice model once assembled.

That is a massive plane, the interior looks so futuristic, fun history. Another great review. Thank you.

[@RightOnReplicas]

Thanks TE. It really was at the time and wasn't fully realized until the B-2's first flight in 1989! -Doug

[@davidhinkson8856]

I recall seeing this kit years ago. The interior reminds me of the starship Enterprise and it's a lot bigger than I anticipated in 72nd scale - you'd definitely have to clear a lot of space to accommodate it! Is this an early demo stealth plane?

David, Right you are and thanks for sharing! -Doug
