1/144 Scale Rockwell USAF B-1B Lancer Thunderbirds Model Kit - Academy 12620 - Collectible Military Aircraft for Display & Gifts - Perfect for Aviation Enthusiasts & Model Builders

Product Description

The Rockwell B-1B Lancer was developed as the successor to the B-52. With a mission of flying ultra-low at speeds close to supersonic, it featured variable wings and was equipped with four General Electric F101-GE-102 turbofan engines. It's been in use since 1986, and is still active today with upgrades to its radar and other equipment. This aircraft took part in Operation Desert Fox in 1998, the conflict in Kosovo in 1999, and was in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. 

This kit from Dragon reproduces the Lancer's smooth, flowing body line, and the famous variable wing can be swung back and forth after completion. A newly molded AN/AQQ-33 Sniper Advanced Target Pod is equipped on the plane's underside, and the GBU-31 JDAM bomb is also in the bomb bay, which can be opened and closed. The landing gear and engine pods are delicately reproduced as well, and decals are included for four different versions

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.
