Minimum detail in the cockpit but you can't see anything through the windows so it doesn't matter.

I decided to attach the wings first in order to avoid gaps and filling on the surface.

I cut off the tips of the wings to add vertical stabilizers and filled, sanded down and thinned the flaps to make elevons.

Scribing panel lines. This was a big job that took forever.

Air intakes glued in and filled.

Extra styrene added to fill gaps.

Filler needed. Unfortunately some how dust from sanding got into the inside after sealing the cockpit.

A lifetime later the surface is prepared for primer by sanding to 5000 grit.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/6/4/4/864644-46074-73-720.jpg)
The first layer of primer revealed some minor adjustments. Required a bit of spraying and many, many more hours of sanding.

Laying down the GX-100 as a primer.

Sanding up to 12000 in between layers of GX100.

Starting a new project. Since this kit was brought out before the B-2 was public, I thought I would make it into a fictional experimental plane in aluminum. What do you guys suggest?

The shuttle scheme would look great on it, the the shape of this kit lends well to it.

I'm debating whether or not to square off the wing tips and add Winglets. What do you guys think?

Cut the wings, and spent most of the day thinning the flaps and ailerons.

Reminds of the Revell F-19 I think it was before the F-117 appeared properly... and found it SCM Search: Lockheed F-19 stealth fighter*

You can do whatever you want on this baby. LOL No one can say it isnt correct.😉
Personally I think that would be wicked cool in a NMF.

Nice work. I also have this kit in the stash. Agree on the winglets just because! 🙂

Looks great, I've always liked this model, actually I like it more that the "real" B-2.

Thanks Jeremy, I think it looks a lot like the early Horten designs that were never produced. But the Hortens never designed anything this big. Jack Northrop made a few this size.

Superb work for such a large surface. This is better than going to the gym 😛

Thank you Cuajete. I hope it pays off in the end. I realized that I scratched the bottom surface in a few areas and will have to see what I can do about that next. I also sanded a spot past the paint which could become a major problem at this stage. It's one big adventure.
