There's the Revell/Zvezda Ka-58 Black Ghost, the fictional Russian stealth copter.  It was definitely fake, but once upon a time, Kamov had it listed in the history section of their website.

Italeri's Stingbat LHX helicopter is another from the 80s stealth craze, along with Revell's early B2.

This month's SAM has RS Models 1/72 scale Fokker DXXII, with Whiff decals for various possible Dutch flown aircraft. The box top shows an East Indies one, of a pair, having just shot up an 'Emily'! Great stuff, considering there was only one built.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
