1/144 Academy B-2 Stealth Bomber

[ghodges]

I just completed the brand new Academy 1/144 B-2 Stealth Bomber. It's a very good kit with excellent fit, adequate cockpit, complete intake and exhaust trunking, optional opened wingtip speed brakes, fully detailed bomb bay and gear wells (which I left out since I was building this for my mother-in-law's shelf), and a choice of 3 bomb loadouts. The parts provided to close up the gear wells and bomb bay fit perfectly! Decals were excellent with a choice of 5 aircraft and the kit also comes with masks for the canopy and the wheels. I bent a length of clear rod in order to mount the model in flight on a simple base, using a concentric piece of plastic tubing cemented inside the fuselage as a socket.

That's #14 for the year down! On to #15!
