1/48 B-1B Lancer COMPLETE - Pictures on Page 6

I have this one and someday I hope to tackle it. In the mean time I'll watch you and will be watching for the updates!

MKelley:

I have one in the stash and just have not taken the time to build it. The kit was first made long before JDAMs were around. most likely that is the reason for the weapon choice. Look like you are off to a great start, looking forward to the finish.

Thanks....That makes a lot of sense.

Fly-n-hi:

Where are you going to put it when you're finished with it?

I have a display table where my B-24, SR-71 and B-58 reside.

Hey Rob!  I have one in the ole stash ( just like everyone else..lol) and have to make some room before I start construction. I have a dumb question...is that PE in the bomb bay or just a sharp looking paint job? I bid on a few PE sets for this kit on Ebay but lost `em..went off while I was at work! Anyways, looks good so far. I`ll be watching ya.    Len

There is some Eduard PE in the wheel wells and a little bit in the bomb bays, but most is paint and weathering.  I purchased the PE from Squadron 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for all the other compliments.  I'll keep posting updates.  the cockpits should be completed tomorrow, them I'll be able to close up the nose section.

Cheers

Cockpits are complete less joy sticks and ejection seats which I started tonight.

Cheers

Rob,

Is that instrument panel PE or did you to the detail? Whatever way it looks great!

It is Eduards PE Set.  I painted the base panel flat gray, then detailed the instruments with sharpies and paint.

Cheers

Rob,

Came across this link and you probably have seen it but thought I pass it on just in case.

Not a jet guy, but I'm REALLY tempted on this one after seeing what you've done so far...

its looking good so far looking good

Looks great so far!! I'd really like to do a B-1B. They even carry the Sniper Pod now for JDAMs and GBUs.

Just curious.. Does your kit have the smoke-tinted canopy?  Unless you plan on vac-forming a clear one, it seems a shame to hide what's already hard enough to see in that 'pit...

Very nice, looking good so far.   Lancair IV

Completed Ejection Seats

Cheers

Nice work on the seats. Can I recommend something? On the left side of the bang seat is an oxygen tank (right behind the armrest). The color is green. Paint that bad boy up!

You've really made some darn good progress on this one, I always get giddy when I see emails from this thread. I'm always hoping for more photos!

Thanks for the info.  I'm all over it.  I totaly ignored that part of the instructions.  PLUS I FORGOT THE SEAT BELTS......I guess they're not complete.  Back to work.

Cheers
