Academy 1/144 B-2A Stealth Bomber
A good kit, very minor fit issue. Decals are hit or miss. Had one fold over. Definitely murder on your eyes doing 30 plus NO STEP stencils.

Nice job Tom. Showed some great modeling skills recovering from some of those decal issues. I need one of these on the shelf.
Thanks,

Well done!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Academy 1/144 B-2A Stealth Bomber
Presented it to a family friend, George last night. Had it stored properly in the kit box with padding. Walked in the house, broke his balls, you wanted a B-2 Stealth bomber, you put it together. I ain’t got time to do it
I opened the box at here it is, completely assembled. Told him it’s yours and Happy Birthday, George. (I find out he had turned 86 yrs old - I was off by 2 years) He was shocked and he gave me a long hug and thanked me. I know I made an 86 year old a very happy man.
He mentioned if there’s a stand so he can display it. Told him I have just the thing that’ll work. Came out of my parts stash belonging to an Ace Combat kit I had done a few years ago.
He can display it as take off mode with landing gears still down before they’re retracted in flight.

Nice looking finish Tom! Great recovery on the walk way area decal mishap.

A super looking build Tom - very nicely done. Glad to hear your friend was pleased with it.
