RAAF B-1BA - Aussie Bone!

[KiwiZac]

Hi all,
Simple: imagine the RAAF continued with dedicated bombers, culminating in the purchase of four B-1BAs in the mid-1980s.




Lindberg 1/144 kit with random decals.

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.

[Volkodav]

That is awesome and rather than a whif its is a should have been!

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...

Looks wonderful!! I have been wanting to try this kit...

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

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

Heh, heh    Nice build 'Zac  :)

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.

[Camthalion]

nice one

[Buzzbomb]

Yup

Now where is the Fanta can version?!
