Gator52 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) My third build of the Academy kit...I backdated this one by omitting the towed decoy fairings & targeting pod and replacing the flush-mounted ECM fairing under the aft fuselage with the blade-type antennas seen in photos of this particular jet. Other mods were to plug the mounting holes in the mid & aft bomb bays to depict them empty and reposition the stabilizers. Paint is Model Master enamels with Tamiya TS-48 for the radome. Decals are a mix of Caracal 144003 & 144025 and a couple of custom-printed decals for the 37th Bomb Squadron "Tigers" markings. Oil paints were used for weathering, especially on the engine pods & lower aft fuselage. Chris Edited August 6, 2023 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluedot25 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Another beauty Chris..! I really like the look of the FOD covers on these last two B-1s of yours..! And really nice job on the camoflauge. What were the MM colors you used? And how about a group shot or two of the B-1s..?! Edited August 8, 2023 by bluedot25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Thanks Tom; it's MM FS 36081 & 34086 on top, and 36081 & 36118 on the bottom. I'll get a group shot next time I have the lights set up! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
