The Little World

Northrop are finally vindicated.

After suffering the indignity of having their pioneer flying wing bombers canned by the US Air Force in the 1940’s due to commercial and political pressure, they have won the day by producing the B2 Spirit stealth bomber. It is in service and has done service. It will likely be replaced in the long future by another stealther using information gained with this one.

The Kitech kit has little about it that suggests intimate knowledge of the aircraft but the shape is attractive and the build is easy. A top, a bottom, and some gear doors. One canopy and a few decals.

Did you elect to open the doors, they have given you cruise missiles to display.

The wing-walk markings were a saga in themselves and a lesson I will absorb for the future. The colour scheme is a cheerful shade of dark grey and black designed to blend in well with any modern decor.

Australian modellers will need to resist the temptation to throw it like a boomerang and see if it comes back…
