I bought the model in a moment of weakness - it was on sale in an Ocean State JobLot store, and I hadn't built anything for months. 

I've got one of those, as well as two of the equally ficticious "curvy B-2s" that Revell released before the reveal of the W-shaped original:



Got all three from somebody on here who was having a sale - apologies: can't remember who.
I have that B2 kit too, and sold the SR-75 and XR70 kit to someone on here. The B2 will be an RAF maritime patrol aircraft.

Yup - got the B2 triangle-wing.  Built it flying, then couldn't get the fishing line to stay on it - no corners, really - it kept slipping off.  :)  I still have it - it needs some repairs from travel/packing damage, but I have it.  Still have no idea how to display it unless I use one of those three-prong plexiglass stands.  :)
I've never seen the B-2 wing bomber kit before bud ,,that a great thing to have in the stash mate and ill bet in todays world ,,not an easy find ,,bet the bugger has some size to it too..knowing how big the SR-75 is that wont be small  ;D

26.5" wingspan... :o
Dude in our sizes thats 672.5mm!!!  :o
Holy crap pickles !
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yep: in a recent attempt to re-organize my house I took those boxes and several others of the same size up the attic, only to discover that there was NO shelf or space big enough for them. I them had to bring them down again and clear two extra wide shelves in the front bedroom to make the only possible space they could go...
