Revell had been very good generally at ferreting out aircraft designs. But they missed the boat completely on the stealth fighter. Some hitech writers like Clancy got taken too.

I could swear I built an "Aurora" model from Revell back then, too, I think you're right, it was roundish. I'll see what I can find on this internet thingy...

Here's the Revell B-2 kit I built. http://fantastic-plastic.com/REVELL%20B-2%20HIGH%20TECHNOLOGY%20BOMBER%20PAGE.htm

I'm still looking for the roundish UFO-type model I built back then. I may be mistaken on the Aurora name, but I could swear the thing was a round flying saucer with stealth-type exterior paint. Don't remember if it was Testor's or Revell, or some other brand.
