AMP 1/144 B-2A "Spirit of Indiana"


Recommended Posts

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.
