The X-47B by Northrop Grumman pushed unmanned design into carrier operations. Italeri renders this pioneering machine in 1/72 scale, capturing key structural details that appeal to model builders and aviation fans alike.
After debut flights in 2011, the X-47B completed a series of trials on the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), proving unmanned carrier launch and recovery techniques. These accomplishments are reflected in the model's focus on operational features.
The Italeri kit highlights space-saving solutions such as folding wings and a realistic undercarriage. Its parts are designed for accurate assembly and display, making it a useful reference for modern naval aviation model collections.
