Best 1/144 B-1B kit?


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the links Dutch, really looks nice.  I'll backdate mine a bit, from the parts breakdown it looks like it will take some straightforward filling for the targeting pod pylon and the towed decoy housings, no grinding or cutting required.

This is freaking awsome. Hopefully they will start with the H latest version and then do a SAC version that covers the 80’s. And then all the subsequent ones after that G, D. This is outstanding news. I actually called for this in another thread, asking Academy to do a 52 same quality as their B-1.

It looks like Academy is releasing a new 1/144 B-52 next year after B-1B. Probably we will see a new tooled 1/144 B-2 in 2021?

It looks like Kursad at Caracal did it again!  He releases a 1/72 B-52G/H sheet, announces another with 1/144 sheets to follow shortly and Academy does a new mold B-52H in 1/144 scale!  I love it!  Yes, I do hope that G, F, D kits follow along, but I am not holding my breath.  Maybe an AM outfit will do quality castings from this new H for the others.  We will see.  (Okay, I'll take off my prophet's mantle now.)  But, this is VERY GOOD news.

P.S. [Anyone notice the very suspect SBD-1 in the upper left hand corner?]

Hopefully the B-52 will be entirely new and not just a parts-added repop. I’m almost to the paint stage on my B-1B and it’s been fantastic; a B-52 and B-2 would be great to go with it.
