Stealth Bomber

Leave a reply

This is the Northrop Grumman B-2A Spirit, otherwise known as the ‘Stealth Bomber’. In service since 1997 and designed to be invisible to radar, the B-2 is the only known stealth bomber capable of carrying nuclear bombs, which means it’s probably a good thing there are only twenty-one of them.

Well, twenty-two today, courtesy of previous bloggee Kenneth Vaessen. Constructed a decade ago but only recently photographed, Kenneth’s spectacular 1:36 scale B-2A Spirit is built from around 12,000 pieces, with working bomb bay hatches, flaps and landing gear doors, a folding crew entrance, refuelling receptacle, and a wing-span of nearly five feet (146cm).

It’s a jaw-dropping replica of one of the world’s most recognisable (and feared) aircraft, with more superb imagery available to see at Kenneth’s ‘LEGO Northrop Grumman B-2A Spirit 1:36’ album. Click the link above to be spirited there for a stealthy closer look.

With things is Iraq and Syria getting ever more serious thanks to the dicks in Daesh, bombing by the U.S and its allies is looking increasingly likely. Kenneth Vaessen’s enormous 17,000-piece B-2 stealth bomber joins two of its USAF stablemates courtesy of fellow Dutchman and TLCB regular Ralph Savelsberg. You can see more of Kenneth’s incredible B-2 and Ralph’s complimenting builds on Flickr – click here to see all the photos, and here to learn more about the Syrians and Iraqis caught in the crossfire, some of whom could be LEGO fans just like us.
