Product Description

--The B-2A is a US Air Force stealth strategic bomber.
--It is an aircraft with a characteristic shape called a so-called flying wing, which has no horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer.
-Nickname is Spirit. Development of the B-2 began in 1978 under the requirements of stealth and long cruising range.
--Initially, the main purpose was to evade the Soviet Union's air defense network and use short-range attack missiles to launch nuclear attacks on ICBM launch bases and mobile ICBM launch pads.
――However, it is so expensive that it is said to have the same value as gold of the same mass, and at the beginning of development, 132 machines were planned to be manufactured, but the coating is repainted once every 7 years to ensure stealth as well as acquisition cost. Maintenance costs are high, such as the need to do so, and with the end of the Cold War, only 21 aircraft, including prototypes, have been manufactured.
--B-2 is given a personal name of [Spirit of ~ (mostly US state names)] for each aircraft.
--Since 2011, the AGM-158 standoff cruise missile can be installed by updating the armament.

――It is a precision assembly type plastic model of 1/72 scale B-2A spirit.
--The B-2A specifications are faithfully reproduced based on the actual machine maintenance staff and the actual machine materials.
--Weapon Bay and other hatches and flap parts at the bottom of the fuselage can be assembled by opening / closing selection.
--The cockpit can be improved in detail by etching parts.
――When completed, it is an overwhelming size even on 1/72 scale.
-Includes decals made by Caltograph.
