ESzczesniak Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It’s been a while since I’ve shared a build. This is AMP’s 1/144 B-2A Spirit with Metallic Details photoetch set and Begemot decals. This kit is a double edged sword. It is fantastically more detailed than the Revell option. The fit in most areas is rather good. But parts location is inline with short run kits and some areas need a fair bit of filler. This model will join an Academy B-1B and to-be-built GWH or Academy B-52H to make an SAC trio (sorry, Global Strike Command). The split ailerons and flaps were split and positioned in the normal ground/powered down positions. The base colors as a Tamiya mix for gunship gray, lightened for the RAM panels. Weathering was entirely with oils. Almost the entire photoetch set is in the gear, gear bays, and bomb bays. A mix of Alclad paints were used for the exhaust areas Thank you for looking and I welcome any comments or criticism! Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Propellerhead Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Fantastic! I also have the strategic bombing trio sitting in my stash (Academy B-1B & B-52H and the AMP B-2A). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Eric, another beautiful build. I have the Revell kit with Begemont decals; no PE and no masks as come in the AMP kit, but I will see what I can do. You are inspiring me! K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
