Ummm...it does have a tabbed in look around the windscreens/windows...raised...tabbed areas to foul the aerodynamics...
I would have sanded those flush with the rest of the skin...If you zoom in...you can see all kinds of imperfections in the finish...indentations and unequally applied surface coating...
This has got to be a mockup...with a hastily applied surface coating at that...

I was thinking the same thing.
I've been obsessed with the Triangles since I first heard about sightings in the 80s and when they first debuted the Lockheed Bomber I was so jazzed.
This style always brings me back to the Mythical TR3B and Aurora and I would love to see one in person some day....but not on the receiving end of a payload!
That said...she sure is Purdy.

It really isn't at high enough altitudes. I've had slightly darker planes go overhead, in clear blue skies, and haven't seen a damn thing. Even much whiter planes than this going overhead have been hard to find. Black is actually a bad color, because under some conditions it's easier to spot. The grey that the AF currently uses is much better.
