It will be very weird to build an aircraft without a cockpit and canopy. Although no need to freak out the CA glue fogging the canopy or masking the it! By the way, what will be the wingspan of the built model?

Really coooll! Although, it does leave me with fond memories of the good old days when real people flew airplanes.

Hi Arseny Scaling-up from Platz's 1:72 kit, you're looking at about 38cm with the wings unfolded. All the best Rowan

It might very well be the future of combat aviation, but not the future of my modeling efforts. Sorry, but I just can't get enthused about that type of aircraft.

I'll be picking one up to go with my Predator, Reaper and Global Hawk

Martin from New Freedom models has posted on the ARC site, that if the X-47B reaches it's marketing goals, then they will be moving forward with their 2nd release come the fall. While he wouldn't tell us what that planned release is, he did say that it's a model that has asked for over and over again. So your guess is as good as anyone's at this point. Joel

Correct Joel. The next release is something to look forward to. I hope that we have come a long way since the release of this particular kit. Some valuable lessons learned. Cheers Martin
