Hi Everyone,
I posted about this kit in my what should I build next thread and said that I wouldn't be settig up a WIP thread for this kit, but due to the amount of work involved in decalling this kit, I have decided to set one up.
This kit is 1:72 scale (61.6 cm long with a 54.5 cm wingspan) and I am decalling this B1B as the "Eternal Guardian" of the 9th Bomb Squadron from the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB, Texas.
I have been working on the decals for 2 days and have so far got both of the sides complete and just started work on the top of the kit.
Onto the photos.

Another reason why I have setup this WIP thread is because as you can tell by the use of the Aqua Colour pot that this big bird does not have any landing gear, this is because the gear collapsed and broke when I was assembling it originally due to the fitting method. I have studied the instructions and think I can do a better job this time, so I have contacted Revell and asked if they have the ability to get the massive list of parts for me and what it would cost.
Obviously if anyone has any spare 1:72 Revell B-1B parts could they please let me know if they have landing gear sets ?
Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.
Cheers,
Rick
