ESzczesniak Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 This is Academy’s 1/144 B-1B built. It’s a great kit as has already been well covered. The lone addition were Wolfpack’s exhaust set. I am starting off my SAC builds with the modern trio (now Global Strike Command). I’ve completed the B-2A (shared here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235091885-amp-1144-b-2a-spirit-of-indiana/) and this Bone will join. I’m still figuring out if I want to use the Academy or GWH kit for the BUFF. The Bone seemed to get some pretty heavy use and had some fairly dirty examples. Since the B-2A wasn’t going to leave much room for realistic heavy weathering, I chose to make this a dirty bird. I was aiming for something in the range of this reference pic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_B-1_Lancer#/media/File:B-1B_air_refueling.jpg Weathering was a combination of airbrushing highly diluted paints free hand or with masks, and the use of oils. Any comments or criticism are welcome as always and thanks for looking. Eric 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
