But the Quail was built specifically to mimic the radar reflection of a B-52 or similar - McDonnell went out of their way in the design to do that. Nothing with its shape that can be construed as an effort at stealth, it was essentially a flying radar reflector.Just in passing and OT, but for the people still wondering if smaller/bigger size necessarily translates into smaller/bigger RCS, here's the ADM-20 Quail which was used as a decoy for B-52s in the 60s.
