Airfix's MASSIVE 1/72 Rockwell B-1B kit! - Amazing online bargain

[@darkknight1340]

That brings back some memories of my younger self rushing eagerly to my local model shop on hearing that they had just taken delivery of the B1B! I currently have the Revell platinum edition of the Monogram 1/48 Bone in my stash, and I'm very much looking forward to building it.

[@hardysscalemodels]

Yeah this kit is big so the 1/48 must be epic!

[@darkknight1340]

@hardysscalemodels It's 3 foot long and just under 3 feet for the wingspan,wings fully extended!.

[@hardysscalemodels]

@ hahaha! I am SO tempted!

[@dtrain1634]

Very hard build in places this one from what I remember 😮

[@hardysscalemodels]

Yeah I suspected there might be with an older kit. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up.

[@biddyboy1570]

Blimey. I remember building this some forty or so years ago.

[@hardysscalemodels]

Yeah it’s an old one!

[@davidmaddox6220]

It's a beast marra. Used resin engines and landing gear on mine. Used hobby colour usaf, it's similar to f15 strike eagle colour. Only issue I had was the seem line joint along the cockpit pit area.

@@davidmaddox6220 thanks for the heads up mate! I have been looking at some of the aftermarket stuff… very tempting!

[@markfranks1329]

This is, at best, a fair offering of a B-1B in 1/72. Monogram's version in the same scale is far superior in every way. Just mo.

@@markfranks1329 thanks for the info mate, appreciate the feedback.

[@markfranks1329]

@@hardysscalemodels No worries. Good video. 👍

[@hardysscalemodels]

@@markfranks1329 thanks man

[@LUC66631]

You should build on in 1/6 scale . 🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍👍

[@hardysscalemodels]

@@LUC66631 think I’d be spending my life savings on glue!
