[MOC] Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit - Alternate Build Of 75383 Star Wars Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator

[Wurger49]

Operation Midnight Hammer brought the B-2 Spirit back into the spotlight — and I wondered: could I build this iconic stealth bomber from an existing LEGO set? I settled on 75383 Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator.

The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is a heavy strategic bomber known for its flying wing design and low-observable stealth technology, capable of penetrating advanced anti-aircraft defences. With its grey anti-reflective finish, the B-2 benefits from a muted appearance — perfect for recreating with the dark and light bluish grey wedge plates in the Sith Infiltrator set.

Design Highlights
  

• I did my best to replicate the bat-like W shape of the B-2. The biggest challenge? The shallow angles of the available wedge plates.
• The inverted radar dish commonly see on Tie Fighters works surprisingly well as the cockpit dome, flanked by notched curved slopes to form the pointed nose.
• The central bulge, where the cockpit and bomb bays reside, is built with tiles and slopes that smoothly flow into the buried engine pods. I used smooth-surfaced elements where possible to echo the B-2’s seamless, radar-absorbing surface.
• The air intakes (curved slopes and wedges) and exhausts (pearl titanium ingots) sit atop the wing — just like the real B-2, to stay hidden from ground-based radar and IR sensors.

Wings, Hinges & Finishing Touches

• Extending the wings beyond the engine pods was tricky. I iterated on several ideas before committing to hinge and rounded plates.
• Macaroni curved tiles helped add visual rhythm and disguise hinge gaps, giving the wings a cleaner flow.
• I used leftover pieces to build a stand that resembles a half-domed control tower, complementing the aircraft’s futuristic vibe.
• Darth Maul’s speeder is unaffected by this build.

Swooshability

• This model is very solid around the central section, great for play and display.

Displayed next to my SR-71 Blackbird (from set 75406), this alternate B-2 Spirit build from 75383 makes a striking addition to any LEGO collection.

Interesting mod of the Infiltrator into a B-2.
