The Bone is almost done. I painted the bottom of the fuselage today.

The afterburner cans took me almost all week to build. They had 52 pieces each, but they look good.

I'm also trying to mold wing tip lights.

Thanks guys.

 

I applied the two Bobs decals yesterday. They went on great.  The only problem was there was not enough rescue arrows. I had to use the ones that came with the kit. Oh well. I'm applying future today, then dullcoat tomorrow.

The B-1 should be wrapped up this week less weapons.  I'm waiting for a company called Shull24 to re-open so I can order the JDAMs.  Anyway.  Here's where I'm at.  Weathering is complete.  i started putting the gear on, but there's a lot of adjustment that needs to be done first so the mains sit flat.

Looks good, Rob, but where will you eat dinner?  Who cares, the B-1 will impress your wife so much she won't even remember dinner!  Nice work, the nozzles really stand out.
