While at a garage sell with my mom I found this antenna looking thing i think, it had a bolt through it and a cable too but it resembled a f-117 with extra long wings so I got it anyway. Brought it home and started working on it.




Now it looks like this




The Model, I created the v-tail the intake and the exhast (which I did not take a picture of  :banghead: ) It is 1/48 and took about two days work I guess.

Here is a backstory,

With the retirement of the f-117 and the rising of uavs the airforce needed a new fighter other than the f-35. So a contract was awarded to boeing to make a new fighter drone and thus the MQ-28 Bishop was born, still in the testing phase though as of 2014, it is going to be deployed in the year 2016.

Thanks for looking feel free to post any comments good or bad and if you want you can change the backstoy some.  <_<

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'd leave it as clean as possible. It looks very cool in the all-black livery - maybe just some stencils to show that there IS something, but not much more, IMHO.  :thumbsup:
