Modern Stealth Planes

From the top, clockwise
B-2 Spirit (Matchbox Sky Buster), BlackBird (Maisto Tailwinds), F22 raptor (Maisto Tailwinds), F-117 Nighthawk (Maisto Tailwinds)

stealth planes, it means that these flying war machine could not be detected by the radar
kinda sneaky huh? but I loves the design of these modern high tech machines

there are many types of Stealth Planes for many purposes, but we could simply divide them into two main categories, the fighters and the bombers, just like the regular warplanes
the most well known stealth fighter is the F22 Raptor and for the bombers, off course the B-2 Spirit (picture above)

I just collected some of the most famous one, tend to expand my collection into more unique and rare one, but seems that only limited models of these war machine has been produced, and those manufacturer tend to released almost mainstream planes such as Nighthawk, Spirit and the Raptor

really wished I could got a model of my most favorite stealth plane, the Horten 229 of the Germany

it was the earliest stealth technology plane ever made during the end of the second World War
fantastic design + ambitious dream equal magnificent technology leap in those era
