Academy 12620 1/144 B-1B 34th Bomb Squadron Thunderbirds

The Academy 12620 recreates the B-1B Lancer at 1/144 scale, complete with the 34th Bomb Squadrons Thunderbirds markings. The kit focuses on the aircrafts striking silhouette while keeping components appropriate for the scale.

Detail Level and Finish Potential

Panel lines and subtle moulded features give the model a realistic base for painting and gentle weathering. These details let you produce a convincing finish without excessive extra work.

Construction Advice

Due to the scale, parts can be small and benefit from precise handling and good lighting. Take care when joining the wings and fuselage to preserve the models proportions and clean lines.

Showcase and Collection Use

Completed, this B-1B makes an attractive addition to model displays or a themed collection. The Thunderbirds livery provides a bold visual that stands out at small scale.

Specifications

Build time varies with skill and finishing, but many modellers complete a neat 1/144 build over a few evenings, including painting and decal work.
The kit includes decals intended to represent the Thunderbirds livery associated with the 34th Bomb Squadron; check reference photos if absolute historical fidelity is required.
Use a quality plastic model cement or cyanoacrylate for small joins. Plastic cement gives a stronger bonded seam for stressed areas.
The kit shows the variable-sweep wing geometry, and with careful assembly you can display the wings in a chosen sweep position; ensure joints are secure before display.
