BOMBER COMMAND REFERENCE PHOTOS

[MrT]

I had an opportunity to vist local airshow and took some photos and thought that we needed reference thread for the upcoming "BOMBER COMMAND" group build. I will add something new everyday until I run out of pictures. The first installment will be a B-1B Lancer. If you have photos you would like to add feel free to add them.

Great pictures Terry, must have been hot, everyone sheltering under the aircraft.

Looks like some added on antenna on the rear end, notice the vortex generators also.

Well with ref pics like that I'm fully expecting MP's a/c to be fully plumbed and full of PE. Now will he go with a belly full of cruise missiles or and belly full of iron??

No way James, this Bone will be clean and tucked in, gear up, bombbays closed and burners burnin'. Figured it would be easier to store AND I'll have a bunch of really cool parts left over.

Great pictures Tom. If you want to zip them up into one file you can load them on your gallery. That way I can oggle over them when i'm suppose to be working...Love the noseart!
