THUD Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Take a pick on my B-1B (is finished right now but I don't have any pictures with me right now).....seriously....you're a brave man....welcome to the club http://www.arcforums.com/forums/index.php?...topic=46444&hl= Edited September 9, 2005 by THUD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Hey Thud, looking good so far. Are you going with after market nozzles. I can't believe how bad the kit ones are. I'm going with these: http://www.kitreview.com/reviews/bonenozzlereviewbg_1.htm They are too long but alot better than the kit nozzles.

THUD Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yup that's the same I used on my kit, they are very accurate for the kit.....and also if you can, buy the Eduard PE for the B-1B, it will improve A LOT your A/C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Do you have a link for the PE kit. I normally build OOB but I'm intriqued about add on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lockheed2004 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Good luck! You're gonna need more Corona than the one you have there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I congratulate you sir on your undertaking. I’ve not worked on mine in over 18 months. Schedule is just to tight sometimes. I’m down to only 2 of these kits, having sold the other three. What markings are you going to use? Also, do you know about the B-1 group build over on the Finescale forums? Its under the group builds section. Look for the Bonehead group build. Chris Ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Boomstick, go to www.eduard.cz and make a search. I also have this kit, the CE nozzles and Eduard PE set. I started the kit (glued a few parts), but I soon realized I had no space for it. Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomcatFanatic123 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 My F-15E is nearly completed so I though I'd start this little fella. Stay tuned. LITTLE fella ????? Can't wait to see the finished project! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 My F-15E is nearly completed so I though I'd start this little fella. Stay tuned. I see the Corona bottle in the background. :blink: This is a prime reason why we should not drink and model at the same time. We walk down to the workbench the next morning, and see some new, crazy project started, and we ask: "I did what last nite?" All kidding aside, I have one of these little fella's to tackle one day as well. Good luck, and please keep us posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Yeah, it took one Corona just to open the box and look inside! It looks like fit may be a problem with this build, can someone confirm this. Edited September 10, 2005 by Boomstick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spunk-Y Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I heared that to, but that won't hold me off, Hope to start with it within 3 to 4 months . Good Luck with yours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lockheed2004 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I can confirm. Have a tube or two of putty on hand and be prepared to fill, sand, repeat.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Boomstick, Little fella???? Looks like you've been drinking too many Coronas. :lol: Anyhow. it looks great. Hope the dryfitting's going OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Everything will be OOB with exception to the horrid engine nozzles. I'm going with the following Two-Bobs sheet: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spunk-Y Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 great looking sheet, I will go for the Cutting Edge sheet with the memphis belle (also got markings for the 1/144 B-52 belle, 1/48 F-15E and 1/48 F-105 :lol:, now I only need a B-17F, this will propably be 1/72 ;)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Aft crew section taking shape, still alot to be done on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) Nearly there, I can't believe I'm really going to finish this thing, there were times I wanted to throw it through the window. Edited November 16, 2005 by Boomstick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hmmm, I guess maybe I should build a 190 or Su-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Hmm... You've built that kit in less than 3 months? Wow! Edited November 17, 2005 by Lancer512 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VF-x Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Boomstick, I have a question about the CE nozzles that you've used. I have the same set, but I'm a little unsure of what I need to cut away. There are no instructions regarding which section of resin must be cut apart from the actual parts. Can you provide me with some guidance on that? Thanks, VF-x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
