1/700 Aircraft Collection, Part 15 (Pitroad/Scratchbuilt)
The 1/700 scale model is scratchbuilt from Evergreen sheet and tube plastic. The model is of the newer Block 20-40 “B” version that is just starting to be fielded. The newer “B” version features a larger fuselage, longer wingspan, and revised landing gear fairings from the original “A” aircraft. I finished the model in the current Global Hawk USAF gray fuselage and white wings livery by hand painting and custom decals. The serial number is from an actual RQ-4B aircraft and displays the "BB" fin marking from Beale AFB.
Is a modified Pitroad U-2. I scratchbuilt and added the satellite data link dome to the top. The landing gear is scratchbuilt as well.
