Hello,
Is there a B-1B bomber in 1/72 scale? If so how much does the kit run? Has anyone built one before? Are there fit problems, or just plane old problems?
thanks alot,
seakinght
Monogram released a 1/72 B-1B, but I don’t know about current availability or cost. Try a search on Squadron or Great Models web stores.
i saw one the other week i think it was a airfix kit , some times they have them on ebay
A store here in CT happens to have one, and I don’t think it has been sold, yet…
I forget, but I think it’s Clayton’s Hobbys… It’s usually up on the top shelf every time I go there, so it could be your best bet, though I doubt you live in CT…
So, perhaps they show up on e-bay too? Always worth looking…
Well
its been awhile since I built this kit
I was alot younger than in 1991
I dont remember and problems with the parts lining up
i’m looking at the one i just got of Ebay for $15
the two main fuselage pieces line up very well
as well as the wings. Kit has very good detail with raised panel lines
it will be difficult to paint the detail inside the gear wells and bomb bay
since it is molded with the fuselage
windshield is tented on my kit
this is a Revell monogram kit by the way
they also have the 1/48 scale kit as well which is huge and alot more detailed
unless you go on ebay i think the 1/72 version goes for $30 to $40
ebay has them for alot less. hope this helps
