Description'Space and Aviation Firsts'© 2024.
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses.
A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) and produced from 1987 to 2000. The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

Collectors' Hint - What are my choices with Model purchasing and collecting?
It is the nature of the Space and Aviation market that Space and Aircraft Models and Kits of importantspace or aviation flight vehiclestend to be limited in production and sell very quickly. An example is the premier diecast models like these.
All production 'runs' are limited with no guarantees that there will be more.Consequently, they become Limited Editions in their own right.
Some models may be 're-launched' on significant anniversaries.
I suggest when an opportunity presents itself, make the decision for your model collection and act!
