Revell 1/48 B-1B Lancer

[DaveJL]

Hello all,

Here is my recently completed 1/48 Revell B-1B Lancer for the Close Air Support group build. An absolute monster of a kit, the build thread is here

I used Twobobs decals, SAC metal landing gear, Cutting Edge exhausts, Shull24 Sniper Pod, ALE-50 Decoy fairings and an Eduard etch set. All 20 JDAM's are from the spares - 10 GBU-31's and 10 GBU-38's. The Conventional weapons module for the GBU-38's was scratch-built. FOD inserts for the intakes are made from fine sponge.

She's marked as 85-0085 'No Antidote II' of the 37th BS/28th BW, at Ellsworth AFB.

The photos (there are a few!)

Size comparison:

Yep, that's 2 1/48 F-14's!

Comments welcome,

Thanks for looking,

Dave

Very nice indeed but will take up some display room.

[SaintsPhil]

Nice work Dave, good to see its found a home too

[Alan P]

Good one Dave! You fought the beast and won.

Particularly like the work you did in the bomb bays, great stuff. Shame no-one made those GBU-38s when i was making mine!!

Looks a bit mucky though, not a happy crew chief for that one!

Once again, great to see one of these rarities - a built up Bone in 1/48.

That really is a monster of a model in all respects!

Where on earth do you find the room to display it?

Big and beautiful!! Nice one Dave.

[AjD]

What a beast! I still don't know if I'll ever be able to build mine - no idea where I'd put it!

Setting it on the mirror really finishes it off nicely though. Very impressive work.
