This is Testors 1/72 scale B-2 Spirit.  It is done OOB.  This was one challenging project!  The seams on the wings was horrible and I never was able to remove it completely.  If I do this kit again (and I might) I will remove all the locating devices and butt join the wing to the center section and then glue top and bottom halves together.  This was done as illustrated in the instructions and it just didn't work that well.  Oh well, live and learn!  

A big disappointment with this kit is the total lack of detail in the weapons bay and wheel wells.  As I had no references I left them that way.  Next time I'll try to improve on that.  Another major area of disappointment is the decals.  You can tell by the picture that the wing walks are visible.  Next time  I'll mask them off, or go the aftermarket route.  I did enjoy the kit and hope to do another when I can.  It helps to have done one so you can see where things can be improved on for later attempts.
