Nice idea but isn't it a bit too soon to try to market a kit of this plane?

Like the 1986 Revell 1/72 model of the B-2 ... thankfully I wasn't stupid enough to be tempted by that one.

Though I'm not expecting rivet-count accuracy, I hope Mikromir can do a good job of recreating the prototype. These are the kinds of kits that don't usually get tooled, so it's fantastic that they're going to make a kit of this early form of the B21.

At least the B-21's flown publicly! Good on you AMP, hopefully they can incorporate changes as more information is released/gleaned by spotters.

It's not going to be 100 percent accurate, but it's going to be many, many years before we learn more about its dimensions, etc. I'll be happy to have a reasonable representation of the B-21 in my display case for the time being.

I really hope this sells well and they then upscale it to 1/72 - I’d love one to go alongside my B-2

I can't imagine too many changes to a project like this, did the B2 change much from its public introduction? Changes with hardware like these can be very expensive.

Even if there are changes, it will be nice to have an option for an out the box prototype before all the kits released depict the production version

The number or layout of panels could change, the long pitot tube under the left wing will also be removed in the production model.

Also, keep an eye out for bulges and bumps to fit in more sensors.

When I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca I actually built one.  I may have pictures somewhere.
