EthanGreen123 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Overall incredibly pleased, very good kit, there were a few tricky bits where I had to do some DIY but overall very solid and easy to build. Expensive kit though! I studied a lot of photos of the B-2 and pretty much each of the 21 aircraft is different(Different panels, shapes, shades of grey…) So I didn’t outright copy one plane, I kind of created my own finish on it using lots of inspirations. However I did go for a more ‘patchwork’ finish rather than going for a plain finish. Have a look at these photos of the B-2: http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/18410/usafs-controversial-new-plan-to-retire-b-2-and-b-1-bombers-early-is-a-good-one https://wall.alphacoders.com/by_sub_category.php?id=207234&name=Northrop+Grumman+B-2+Spirit+Wallpapers http://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/NEWS-ARTICLES/News-Article-View/Article/1055160/air-force-refuelers-enable-b-2-strike-against-daesh-in-libya/ Let me know what you think. Any feedback would be appreciated. I used normal brushes, a lot of masking tape, Decal Set(Blue), Humbrol filler and Humbrol enamel paints(85/191, 123, 125, 164, 156) I also have photos of different stages of the build if anyone is interested. Also thanks for the tips people gave me on here.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Im sure this is a great looking B-2 considering all the questions you asked. So I gave you a “like”. Sadly Im only seeing the photobucket Ransom screen. I know there is a patch but i cant use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlow Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I can see it and it looks great, especially knowing you brush painted the finish. What's the span of this kit? Never knew there were only 21 of these beasts. Thanks for sharing. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanGreen123 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Really?!? Have I posted the photos incorrectly? I just copied the Photobucket direct link in, they're there for me. Thanks, the wingspan is 73cm! Brush painting was particularly difficult over and around the masked areas, the underside isn't as sharp as the top but still decent.

John Laidlaw Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I can't see the photos either, but like Corsair, I'm in the States - maybe that's the reason? (Although it would be a weird reason.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIGHTS ON Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Photos all clear from here - perhaps you lot don't have the right "stealth" settings for yu viewing? (or he links have been adjusted since you posted!) great looking build btw, an a real exercise in testing your patience with masking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Excellent job! It's nice to see that Modelcollect have done a good job on the kit. I look forward to their B-52s. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 73cm?! Looks lovely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanGreen123 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I know, it's wingspan is insane! It has the same wingspan as the B-52! Unbelievable for a 1:72 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A lovely model of an aircraft I haven't seen or know anything about. I certainly didn't realise that it had such a big span. Thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanGreen123 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks for all the great comments guys! Really appreciate it, this is also my first model post on here. Probably the best model I've ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Hello @EthanGreen123 & @John Laidlaw. No its not likely the USA. I cant use the software patches to bypass the Ransom screen as im on a cellular internet connection. I cant upload programming like that into the apple iphone. Your link to the album works for me. Excellent work Ethan something to be proud of. Edited April 16, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chrome, there are a couple of Extensions you can install to see the images. I have 2 of them installed and can see your pictures. nice work!

Bell209 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm sure it's great but I can't see them in Australia, either. Mind you, I can't see most of the posts with photobucket, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell209 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nope. Can see the previews but clicking on the picture brings up the usual ransomware message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
