That’s a very nice B-2 you’ve got there. I just wish there was a 1/28th kit out there for this one.

Very nice, great job. Did I read the span right ??? I had no idea a B-2 was that BIG.

[tup]Well done Model Maniac! Great looking build.

nicely done. I got to see the B-2 last month at the Chicago Air and Water show. It was one of my favorites. When it’s flying head on it looks like just a line in the sky. I took pictures throughout the show but they didn’t turn out very good.

Many thanks for all your kind compliments!, they’re very encouraging. “Niphon” the
modeler will be glad to know this.

LemonJello, I think you mean you want one in 1/288 scale, not 1:28 for sure. At
1/288 the wingspan will be 18.2 cm, but at 1/28 it will be 187.2 cm!

DanCooper, you read the span right. It’s 172 feet or 52.43 m. Remember that B-2
has higher payload than B-52 and B-1, so it has to be big. :wink:

Well done, she looks great. Thanks for the pics.

Dave and harbormaster, thanks a lot for your kind compliments on the model!
harbormaster, at 1/48th, the wingspan will be 109.2 cm long. [:)]

Very nice B-2. 1/48, 1/28…etc…that’s why you have a driveway to park the thing.[:D]

15

Nice job on a kit that I thought took a fair amount of elbow grease!

Maniac,

Great job. I’ve thought about trying this kit but I’ve heard it’s a real dog to build. Is that true? Let me know!!

Thanks for more kind compliments on the model!.
Rich, that’s very true. ‘Niphon’ the modeler said the fitting was anything but pleasant,
lot of filling and sanding jobs to do. Best fit for macho modeler. :wink:
