Description
Boeing b-2 Advanced Technology BomberAdvanced Technology Bomber
Like Monogram, Revell responded to the breakthrough success of Testors' F-19 Stealth Fighter with a "Could Be..." Stealth model of its own. Only in this case, the plane was the long-rumored B-2 Stealth Bomber.
Working from known flying wing technology and the accepted requirements of Stealth designs, the engineers at Revell concocted this smooth, low-profile, tailless bat-wing design and released it under the "Birds of Prey" moniker. Their predictions were fairly on the mark; the actual B-2 turned out to be roughly the same shape and scale as Revell's kit -- but far more angular, especially at the wings' trailing ends.

It looks like they cut the tail off and compacted the nose in on a Vulcan bomber.

Wait, so would Boeing basically be stealing the.... Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirt Steal Bomber wing? :\

I wonder if this one would have ended up costing $2 Billion apiece, too?

Wow, that thing is, like, paper thin.
But still, neat plane-that-could-have-been.

Great pics.

The forward section of the wing kinda looks like a more sleek B-1 Lancer nose.

I guess it wasn't all that far off, but the real thing is decidedly stealthier in shape.

I remember seeing the concept art for this and fell in love with the design, nice.
