@zed thank you

@ChiChiWerx you went to geostationary orbit? and took a selfie? O.o I do NOT wanna mess with you

Sorry, first post below: "The lockheed p-38 lightning was a stealth bomber used in ww2"

Hmmm, correction: original description stated it was a "stealth bomber", it's been removed, I see.

@MasterManufacturingCo I will concede the following: The Ho-229 is naturally radar evading, boasting a 20% reduction in signature over the Me-109, so it has "stealth characteristics". I, however, would NEVER go to war in a Ho-229 over an F-117, because it's radar characteristics would just get its pilot killed in this day and age. It is debatable and the point of the Nat Geo doc that it's designers intended for it to evade radar...ok, interesting theory. I'm not convinced. Also, I took the picture I use in my icon. It's a selfie in a single seat airplane. Do the math, use your brain and I'm qualified to debate these points.

@MasterManufacturingCo OK, so I went back to look up the Ho-229 again, just to be sure I had it right wrt stealth tech. You probably saw the Nat Geo doc "Hitler's Stealth Fighter", which I started to watch. After the first few minutes where they said: "kept in a secret government warehouse", I nearly choked on my coffee. The airplane is being restored at the Garber facility in N VA (Smithsonian Institute), same people who run the National Air and Space Museum. So, the doc is sensationalistic to start. My points prior to getting off the soap box:
1. Northrop Grumman Aerospace (NGA) and others are interested in the Ho-229, the same reason why they're interested in the YB-49 or other early flying wings. The B-2 and the B-21 are flying wings and the shape is naturally radar evading. They want to investigate if anyone has stumbled across a technique that will help this nation's stealth efforts.
2. They make a big deal about the Ho-229 being wood...but don't mention that the Axis were turning to wood as it was easily obtained as metals were becoming hard to acquire during the latter stages of WWII. The Luftwaffe's Emergency Fighter Project, the British Mosquito and many other WWII aircraft were wood for that reason.
3. NGA investigated the designer's claim that he used charcoal impregnated wood materials as a radar evading material, but NGA never found evidence of charcoal in the design.
4. What caused me to spout out concerning the P-38 not being stealthy is the description of this particular build...modmaster claimed the P-38 was a "stealth bomber", which, clearly it never was.
I can go on all day on this, trust me, you have no idea who I am where I've been or how old I am. I assure you I know what I'm talking about. I yield the floor to you...

@MasterManufacturingCo, besides the props alone on the P-38 can be seen from afar by any radar out there, c'mon, really???

@MasterManufacturingCo Ho-229 was not a true stealth, never designed to be that way. SR-71, same category. Either way, P-38 was in no way stealthy, never designed to be stealthy, word "stealthy" was never used to denote invisibility to radar at that time. F-117 was the first jet designed to evade radar specifically as its defense. That's why it was revolutionary. It wasn't even touched when it operated with impunity over the Baghdad Super-MEZ during Gulf Storm I. The P-38 or the Ho-229 or even the Blackbird could NEVER had done that and would have been blasted out of the sky if anyone had tried.

I'm an Air Force pilot, guy, and YOU are wrong.

No, the P-38 was a fighter and there were no stealth aircraft prior to the F-117 in the mid 1980s. Nice build for a new user, keep it up! Check out my P-38...

sorry for know description it still does not work and know i posted this before but was not happy with it and i made it more realistic to the Experimental version. The lockheed p-38 lightning was a stealth bomber used in ww2
