DaveJL Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 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 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) 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.

AjD Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
