ESzczesniak Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This is the first build I've shared on Britmodeller. This is AMP’s 1/144 B-2A Spirit with Metallic Details photoetch set and Begemot decals. This kit is a double edged sword. It is fantastically more detailed than the Revell option. The fit in most areas is rather good. But parts location is inline with short run kits and some areas need a fair bit of filler. This model will join an Academy B-1B and to-be-built GWH or Academy B-52H to make an SAC trio (sorry, Global Strike Command). The split ailerons and flaps were split and positioned in the normal ground/powered down positions. The base colors as a Tamiya mix for gunship gray, lightened for the RAM panels. Weathering was entirely with oils. Almost the entire photoetch set is in the gear, gear bays, and bomb bays. A mix of Alclad paints were used for the exhaust areas Thank you for looking and I welcome any comments or criticism! Eric 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Looks great, and so much better and more detailed than the Revell version I did some time ago! The Spirit is rather small in 144! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESzczesniak Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thank you everyone for the kind words! The B-2 has definitely gotten more love recently, but it was quite the dearth for a while with only the Testors and Revell kits. The AMP kit, for being so unknown, proved to create a pretty nice result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
