That's fantastic!  8)
Ysi, how about swapping the 1/144 B-1 cockpit for a 1/72 F-4 Phantom cockpit?
Got something similar planned with a 1/144 B-1 and a 1/72 F-15, but the Phantom wings look too damn cool. I thought about podded engines as on the Concorde. I think they even had quite similar proposals for what would eventually be the F-14 and F-15.
Cheers,

Very nice!  Though I'd expect an option with a scaled F-15 wing, too.

U.S. Patent 9,963,231 B2 was awarded on May 8th to Boeing. It depicts a number of cannon configurations that can be stowed in a B-1B's weapons bays and extended down outside of those bays for use.

(Yes I checked the the date. It's not April 1st)

Can the system be mounted on any weapons bay able to accept a CSRL? Because then this opens the door for B-52 and B-2 gunships too... >:D

I was inspired by a 1/144 scale B-1 Bomber next to some 1/72 scale fighters -- would be interesting to see a  "medium" bomber based on the B-1 design, similar in class to the F-111, perhaps a competitor back in the 60's. 

In this case, same layout as a B-1 but with two engines instead of four, and because of the layout you get a 2nd internal bay (versus the F-111's single bay).

Great idea!  Maybe try for two larger engines to replace the original four units.  Something from the F-35 perhaps?

Something like the FB-11H proposal, perhaps

There was a proposal for a bomber version of a stretched F-22.
Would F-22 or F-23 wings look good on the Bone?

Quick summary: Boeing is working on a new 22,000lb-rated pylon for B-52 that may allow up to 3 ARRWs on each hardpoint. The image below shows the B-1 with six ARRWs on the belly. Boeing also has shown a new rotary launch for up to eight HAWCs, although depends on final design.

Via Twitter. I cannot comment on the providence of this diagram but it looks legit.

The version of the drawing I saw was slightly different though essentially the same.  It was part of a 1979 proposal(?) detailing a scheme for a family of aircraft based upon the B-1.  The wings were to be fixed at a 25 sweep angle and limiting the aircraft to subsonic ops.  This would also allow for reduction in some materials such as titanium thus reducing the cost per aircraft significantly.  Everything else was adaptable.

Cool!  8) Gives it a look reminiscent of Bears, Blinders and Badgers. Really needs Red Stars, a crewed twin 23mm in the tail, and some big f***-off anti-ship missile or two under the belly.   >:D

Or maybe have it as a failed state USA in a scenario where it was the US that collapsed in the early 1990s not the USSR... ;)
