Revell 1/48th scale

B-1B Lancer

Revell's enormous 1/48th scale Rockwell B-1B Lancer. I sold a lot of old 1/72nd scale kits off in 2005 and used the proceeds to purchase this from a local Hobby Shop. It was only £40 GBP which is pretty cheap these days for something so large. I have no idea where I am going to put it if I do build it. Hence it will spend a lot of time in the attic. I suspect most of them do. There is a small variety of aftermarket accessories available including:

Eduard ED48325 Photoetch set
Eduard Exhaust ED48499
Cutting Edge CEC48389 Turkey Feather Exhausts
Two Bobs Decals TB48058 B-1B Operation Iraqi "Freedom" (3) 86-138/EL "Seek and Destroy" amongst others
Scale Aircraft Conversions white metal undercarriage (48072)

The reverse of the second sprue bag showing the tail section and engine air-intake tunnels.	Instruction booklet.	Third bag of sprues obviously including the wings.	Reverse of the third bag of sprue containing not only the obvious wings but also the all flying horizontal tail.

Fourth bag of sprue containing almost everything left over such as internal bulkheads and weapons.	Reverse of the same sprues showing the internals of the weapons bay.	Rubber-ised tyres.	Clear sprues.

The Revell Decal sheet is quite good and Revell describe it as "super"....
