Don't know the story here (I assume these are "photo illustrations") but it's a cool looking a/c. Hopefully Trumpeter will do one in 1/24th!

Those are photos of a new movie prop, for "Stealth".

Thanks, I found a discussion about this on another site

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread67337/pg1

The fact Global Security posted them with no description, disclaimer or otherwise is really confusing. Frankly I don't expect that site to post photos of a movie prop.....

Here's the Navy press release

P.S. - Would still make a nice model though.

Nate, click on the F/A-37 link in the right side bar for a description.

I don't know why Global Security would want to start a collection of fictitious planes when the rest of their website could use some updating and work. Some of the AFV photos are outdated, some of the text can be expanded, etc.
