Completely agree, make it scale. If you are concerned about the artwork showing nicely to people viewing the model, you could always print out a larger example to set next to it or on its base (if you choose to do one). Beautiful work on those bomb bays.

I do have some detail pics of some of the B-1s down at Dyess if you need anything. Not a huge collection, but some.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave, in fact bbay is nearly complitle if you have more foto CRL it's will be nice :rolleyes:

Sorry for the delay. Here are the four bomb bay pics that I took. They are all of the second bay but you can see the fwd bay in the one shot (with fuel tank installed):

First looking aft...

Second, looking forward to the right...

Third, looking forward to the left...

Finally, looking forward (you can see the fwd bay is open too and you can see the bottom of the fuel tank)...

Hope these are some help. I have detail from other spots too (MLG, wing sweep joint, etc)

Cheers,

Dave

While I'm uploading, here is a shot of the wing joint...

And I'll finish with one that showed me something I never knew about the B-1...the variable geometry inlet. It is as simple as having an outside edge that swings open or closed to adjust the intake area.

Hope they help...

Great work so far - really enjoying it. But I'm not sure if the fuel tank can go in the aft weapons bay. I think there are some cg issues and I thought the plumbing was all in the forward bay. I'm by no means a Bone expert so hopefully someone can help us out!

Good day and thanks all for comments and interest to my B-1B build :rolleyes:

About your question Skinny Mike i asked here before and answer is

View Post black_widow, on 12 April 2013 - 08:25 PM, said:

At http://www.targetloc...production.html they wrote about B-1B 86-0121: "Moved to Ellsworth from Mountain Home 2002. At Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, July 2003. Flew a record-breaking 21.7 hour sortie over Iraq in December 2003." Does anyone know what fitting (bombs, sniper pod) those B-1Bs had when this happened?

GBU-31s in the Mid and Aft Bays, Fuel Tank in Fwd Bay, no Sniper Pod at that time.

(I apologize for the inconvenience, but I'm not shipping overseas for the time being - unless you want to pay the exorbitantly high shipping cost for Priority Mail International. If you do, e-mail me and I'll send you a price quote. I'm looking for a solution, which will probably be going with a distributor.)If anyone can help me in this situation would be nice.

Fantastic job so far on this monster. I built this 1 about 10 yrs ago when I was more of a novice and well sure wish I had my hands on another. What I could do with it. Keep up the great work cant wait 4 your next update!!

Good day all

I'm maing the CRL now. Does anybody know if I can put 8 gbu-31v3 into the CRL and have them fit fine inside the b-bay or can I only put 4? :unsure:

Best regards Alex :coolio:

Here's a link to another 1/48 Revell B-1B build. The modeller says that he was only able to fit 5 GBU-31's on each CRL, in each bomb bay.

Hi,

Sorry, I'm a little confused by your questions, but I think I can help.

The "Cooling Loop" cools the electronics that control the CRL. The "Ground Safety Locks" prevent the weapons from being released while the aircraft is in a "safe" condition.

I hope that helps. Let me know if it doesn't, take care.
