Lovely choice Ian , great aircraft . Looks like a nicely detailed kit , undercarriage is very nicely done. Youll have to get a 1/144 Tu 160 now to go with it !

 

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit put together and painted, also most of it built up.

Looking bad ass in black.

Superb Ian , it looks brilliant in black .

Looks great Ian. I remember seeing one of these many years ago at the Boscombe down air show. It did a fast pass wings folded and looked superb. Your primer shot very much reminds me of it.

 

[papa 695]

Got the bombs done, also the wheels and bomb bay doors.

Hi Ian
That is an impressive model. Preshade has worked well. These 1/144 scale kits seem to have a lot going for them.

Thanks Jim, the detail on this kit is very impressive for the scale, goes together like a dream. If you like the B1 it's well worth a punt.

Now it’s all ready for the decals after a gloss coat.
