Excellent!

I bet it’s still big in 144!

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 !

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

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.

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.

Look forward to seeing this done, these plane builds are helping me pluck up the courage to start my1.48 scale A26 b invader.
