As a diehard 1/72 scale modeler, bump it up a notch in size and I guarantee I'd have one just to say I did. The box art looks pretty darn believable so I'm tempted to get one anyway. Might make a good father & son build.

I think if you take a look at the pictures of the one in Geronimo it is only a tiny thing, a UAV. This is just a nother made up what-if like the F-119 was. But this has never stopped a model company before..

Just got my 1/144 Dragon Geronimo stealth helo kit in today from Hobby Search. Cost of shipping as much as the kit. Still WIP. Looks good as this kit is standard Dragon quality. Two small PE sections for grill work over engine inlets. No flash and little clean up needed. Shaded window insert requires work on the one interior injection mold mark to assure that the side windows fit.
I had to cut the single molded 3 windshield panes part into 2/3 & 1/3 parts. This windshield part crosses from one body half to the other and is trapped during assembly. If you don't attach the far pane by itself it will not seat properly in the window frame during assembly so I cut one panel at the window frame to be separate. Simple little kit and should be a quick build.
Interesting guess at the aircraft from the raid. The tail section matches the actual photos I have seen in the news. Odd there is no refueling boom supplied for the kit. Happy modeling!
