B-2 Stealth Bomber

B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber

These new parts make replica building a little easier so I thought I would try my hand at the B-2.

Only 176 parts and weighs 19.1 tons.

Contains bomb bay doors, although I've never made ordinance before so you'll have to make some!

It flies really well considering it's just a giant flying wing. Easy to take off and land and it glides very well. It pitches like it's on rails although the roll is a bit slow due to the drag created by the length of the wings. Obviously it is not the perfect shape, the wings on the real one are less swept back but using wing pieces of 30 degrees instead of the 45 degrees I used looked bad so consider it a Kerbal homage to the real thing.

That's it. Pretty simple although it took ages to get it decent enough to post. Any criticism welcome.

That's one hell of a replica! Great work! I really like the integration of the bomb bays

Kick-ass Man! Get BD Armory for awesome bombs to load this monster with, and bomb the crap out of the space center!!

Thanks for the comments and reputation! I have a slightly revised version below if you are interested. I noticed that not all the fuel tanks were being used so I've put extra fuel lines in to fix that. Now she has around 160,000 DeltaV so you can deliver your payloads to all the corners of Kerbin. I added a ladder to the nose so the Kerbals can get back in if you land somewhere for a wander.

I also added some stock bombs so you can blow stuff up!

I might try some of the bomb mods people have recommended if I get round to it.

Hey I was wondering if someone could KerbPaint this and give me the .craft file. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Thanks!

Glad I didn't go with my initial thought of making a B-2 over the last few days because this because this one is excellent!
