B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber

The Northrop Grumman B2 Spirit, a top-tier stealth bomber utilized by the US in recent conflicts for radar evasion and preemptive air defense destruction, is currently one of the world's most advanced stealth aircraft. Further details about this advanced model can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B2_Spirit). The 3D model was derived from an existing design available at (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=9b58b33d3953ecdc605b692dc0f7565&prevstart=0), though it should be noted that this particular model was not developed by the author. For printing, one must first obtain the "B2" file, which consists of two halves side by side; the process takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Afterward, ABS dissolved in acetone is used to glue the halves together. An uncut version of the file is also available for those who wish to experiment with modifications. However, due to its size (200mm wingspan), it may require scaling and the use of support material during printing. Nonetheless, the recommended method remains printing and attaching the two halves as designed, which results in a high-quality, detailed model.
