ESzczesniak Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_B-1_Lancer#/media/File:B-1B_air_refueling.jpg Weathering was a combination of airbrushing highly diluted paints free hand or with masks, and the use of oils. Any comments or criticism are welcome as always and thanks for looking. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

otterblue32 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I think that's incredible detail at that scale. I have no idea how you did those bombs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Beautiful job! And yes, excellent detailed painting of the weapons load. I had problems with my main undercarriage legs and snapped one and had to super glue the leg and actuators, but it still had a slight rearward angle to it. Next time I will be more patient. But I love your work. Yes!, the B-1B needs to be weathered and you did a superb job. Congratulations! K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
