Academy 1/144 B-1B Lancer


Recommended Posts

This is Academy’s 1/144 B-1B built.  It’s a great kit as has already been well covered.  The lone addition were Wolfpack’s exhaust set.   I am starting off my SAC builds with the modern trio (now Global Strike Command).  I’ve completed the B-2A (shared here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/317042-amp-1144-b-2a-spirit-of-indiana/) and this Bone will join.  I’m still figuring out if I want to use the Academy or GWH kit for the BUFF.

 

The Bone seemed to get some pretty heavy use and had some fairly dirty examples.  Since the B-2A wasn’t going to leave much room for realistic heavy weathering, I chose to make this a dirty bird.  I was aiming for something in the range of this reference pic:

Weathering was a combination of airbrushing highly diluted paints free hand or with masks, and the use of oils.
