QUOTE: Originally posted by bstrump

Testor's makes the B-2 kit and it's 72 scale. As far as kits go, it's a real dog! There's not much in the way of detail and what's there is for the most part chunky. Talk about horrible fit and most of it is due to bad enginneering. I recently bought this kit for the second time(!) and since they first released it, the fit of the wing panels has been tweaked so they fit better. However, there is still a huge gap all the way around on the leading and trailing edges. Once all the filling and sanding is done, the rest is a piece of cake. When all is said and done, you'll have a very pleasing model of the B-2.

Yeah, I was looking at mine and the gaps are enormous. It's going to take some effort to make this look halfway decent. Even the wheel well detail is non-existant. The hardest thing to deal with is probably the panel lines. The kit has raised panel lines, and the real thing doesn't really have any! I used to work on them and I'm trying to recall from memory some detail for the W/W's that I can add. Wasn't allowed to take pic's back then.Alien [alien]

Im working on a Testors P-51D right now, and it seems that testors has a knack for making farily simple kits.

Sarge
Are you inviting me to to this build from another build. If so this is the only kit that I have and are you going to allow cross-building. If so count me in.

Hi Sarge. I've made a little bit of progress on the B-2. Cockpit assembly is complete and glued into the fuselage. I've also dry fit the wing sections together and added some extra alignment tabs to aid in getting a good solid joint.
