You are the first Modeler I’ve seen use the technique of painting the bomb and gear bays first, along with the associated doors. Then using blue tack to attach the doors in the closed position to mask the bays! I’ve been using that technique since the 80’s. No masking tape needed. Beautiful job 👍🏼
Awesome kit for the size. I built a 1/48 scale B-1 , and it had just as much detail as this one. Very impressive! You nailed it! Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much, glad you like the model. ☺️ The small 1/144 Academy B-1 kit is really well done and a joy to build, guess it must be tiny compared to your giant 1/48 scale version. 😄
Good evening mate, that was a excellent build and paint job , a very good size kit for a small scale, very best regards to you and your family and friends, take care and keep safe.
another captivating vid ! I had no idea the Lancer had all those markings underneath - can't say I've ever got close to one . clean precision build . I am always disappointed that they didn't make the wings and stabilizers so that they line up and make a huge delta (Tomcat / Tornado .) .....but that's just me . Wales UK.
I worked on the B1 at Dyess AFB from '87 to '92 and I was really puzzled by the markings on the underside. They may have changed something since '92, but back then, those markings were not present.
Your color for that bone is waay too dark in most of this video, but looks lighter in some of the final photos. The Vallejo satin is too shiny as well. An MRP HAVE GLASS finish would have looked better. It kinda has this glazed donut look in the final photos. Overspray on the bottom of the radom as well. This kit is a clunky little thing.
Thank you, appreciate your comment. I must admit I just followed the build instructions offered with the kit. But I also recently saw a comprehensive walkaround of the B-1B here on youtube and as far as I remember the crewmen said that they could actually put fuel cells in all three bays if maximum range is needed. Don't know if that applies for all of the aircraft? Thanks.
Thank you very much! No worries, the watch is always taken very good care of! 👍😇 I’ve been owning this particular Speedmaster (1861 movement, solid case back) for 16 years now and could never live without it. I also have the latest 3861 model which I bought as a „backup/replacement“ when it came out this year but actually never wear it because I just love the older one so much! My dad owns a vintage 861 model which I personally think is the best of them all. Thanks for watching! 🙂
