As it turned out, the sleek and low-profile design looked nothing like the highly angular, faceted F-117 it was meant to portray. Earning massive media attention, the design became the shape of the mysterious "Stealth Fighter" in the public eye until the F-117 Nighthawk was unveiled in 1990. Testors model maker released a conceptual model airplane in 1986, and Monogram followed with its own version in 1987.

The craft is based on the World Air Force Viper, powered by twin turbo-jet compressors feeding a single ramjet. The aircraft operates from an airborne aircraft carrier named Cloudbase.
