Take a 1/48 F-23, scale o Rama to 1:72 and redesign the cockpit and you have a stealthier B-1.

Huh! Can't see it if you're not 'on Facebbook'.  :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Quote from: chrisonord on April 07, 2025, 01:44:52 AMI have a plan for another Shackleton kit of mine  but you might not like the plan kit. :wacko:
It involves clipping the wings, taking a section of fuselage out, and removing the outermost pair of engines. The inners would be replaced with Rolls Royce Darts. Solid radar nose, gun pack, under wing rocket pods, possible anti ship missiles on the wings and wing tip tanks  with the prvision for underwing tanks too. Camera ports on the rear fuselage could be added too. The nose will take some thinking as a round nose on a square fuselage will take some doing to look right.

Sounds like a good plan.  :thumbsup:
Would the nose need to be conical-style round?
Maybe slightly more rounded towards the front and lose the window lump, but still with the 'chisel' point.

I think to get it how I want it to look, it will need some major surgery. I have some roll on deodorant tops that look about right for the job, its just getting what will be behind it  to look right that  will leave me stumped.

That's what scrap styrene and putty are for.

And wet-and-dry-paper of course.  ;D

It won't be anything quite so big, but it will be a long range radar for scanning large areas of the sea as well as the air, looking for a fight.

Ah, I thought you were going for a B-25 'Pappy Gunn'-style nose. My mistake.  :thumbsup:
Though there's nothing* stopping you from having a couple of guns buried below the radar...

*well, other than a lack of desire on your part, of course...  ;)

That is my my plan  to have some  guns built into the nose, but plan B could be to use a gun pod from a Canberra, as I am hoping to have a tricycle undercarriage version to use.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

The only problem is that M&E conversion kit is well OOP, but they do pop up on ebay now and then. :(
