JamesP Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It’s interesting to see some of the oldest model manufacturing technology married with the very latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Wow, very impressive. But 43" wingspan and 17.25 length!? Yikes! That would consume most of a shelf in my display cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would consume most of a shelf in my display cabinet. It perfectly fills one of my 18x47in model shelfs!!! The hardest part of my order was selecting the aircraft specific decals! But that was super cool that Titan offers it like that! I settled on "Spirit of America" decals, and it has a little color in the decals where all others are all cammo gray. Really like that you can pick the airframe for the decals you want when you order! Edited January 22 by Tokyo Raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hi, It seems my French colleague is right (the red bits are totally OOT here): The intakes seem to me quite too close to the leading edge on the Titan kit. Or do I need to check my labrador? Cheers, S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I need to check my labrador? Cheers, S. Don't know about your labrador, but I asked the local cat and the results were yes, the intakes are much too close to the leading edge. Also, the B-2 is not fitted with MB Mk.12s, so I don't know what one was supposed to do with the supplied seats. Fortunately 1/48 ACES II seats are a dime a dozen, and since the main body of the kit is vac plastic it would not be TOO difficult to trim the trunks back and install the resin intake bits in the correct location, and fit a bit of sheet in front of them to rebuild the wing upper surface. The apparent lack of the B-2s "beak" under the nose looks like more of an issue, honestly. Edited January 24 by LanceB typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
