Title: RAAF B-1BA - Aussie Bone!
Post by: KiwiZac on December 31, 2016, 02:55:23 AM
Hi all,
Simple: imagine the RAAF continued with dedicated bombers, culminating in the purchase of four B-1BAs in the mid-1980s.

Wow is that sweet! Yet more proof that few things spice up an aircraft like red 'roos!

Two home runs in one day! You're on an absolute tear my friend!

Beautiful one, again, Zac!!  Though I do believe the Lindberg kit is the original B-1A configuration rather than B-1B.

Another proof that the US Bones should have been painted in SAC camo :)

Thanks all! It's a sweet kit and I'm very pleased with how the camo came out.

That's what I thought - it has an escape capsule but no dorsal fairing. It's very simple and probably inaccurate for any version!

Love that, quite believable. I might airbrush that into memories of various airshows...

Which makes it perfect for the weird things that our DoD come up with. ;)

Nice build & fits into my RAM's universe nicely! :)

Thanks guys! If you can find it cheap it's a great buy. The only real downside is that the wing sweep isn't sync'd so you have to do it manually.
