    Looks real. I have seen the original (took close up pictures of it, too) and this looks real.

    It looks like it would work, at least to me this structure makes sense for this purpose.
    Honeycomb structures are commonly used in aviation, furniture, cars, sporting goods etc. It's actually quite easy to get your hands to honeycomb material, say made of aramid fiber and then clue some carbon fiber on top of it and argue that it came off what ever stealth plane you imagined up.

    Stealth has lot more to it than honeycomb structure. I would even claim that if it's made out of aluminium it will shine in radar like Christmas tree in the North Korea.
