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!
hello again from Eugene Oregon! good review of a unusual kit thanks Doug!

The flying wing, an interesting design. Thank you for showing the kit unboxing and build.
AMG, Thanks for watching! We provide FULL kit builds and reviews that highlight construction issues. That way we can inform and inspire! -Doug
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.
Lance, Thanks for sharing! -Doug
That flying Wing is NEAT Doug! Very impressive aircraft indeed!
John, I've always thought so too. Thanks for watching! -Doug
Splendid review, thank you!
321, Glad you enjoyed it! -Doug
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.
Zimm, You got that right. Thanks for sharing! -Doug
That is a massive plane, the interior looks so futuristic, fun history. Another great review. Thank you.
Thanks TE. It really was at the time and wasn't fully realized until the B-2's first flight in 1989! -Doug
Great work Doug..
Still looking for a kit.. million thanks for sharing..
RK, You very welcome. They don't come up too often but thanks for watching. Keep trying and good luck! -Doug
Yes indeed Doug.. searching everywhere.. and found lots of other vintage kits.. all are awesome..!
RK, Sometimes our search leads to discovery! -Doug
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
