## Description

The B-1B Lancer is an American long-range strategic bomber with a semi-shell structure with variable wing geometry developed by Rockwell International (now Boeing). Together with the B-52 and B-2 planes, it is the basis of American strategic bomber aviation. The concept of a long-range bomber exceeding 2M was born in the USAF around 1965. In response to this demand, Rockwell established the ancestor of the B-1B, the B-1A, which was flown in December 1974. However, with Carter assuming the chairmanship of the US President, the program was canceled. The program was relaunched in 1981, with the first serial B-1B reaching the linear units in 1984, with the last serial versions arriving in 1988. A total of 100 B-1B Lancer were produced. In 2003, 67 aircraft remained in service until at least 2020. The B-1B Lancer undergoes constant modifications, mainly consisting in the replacement of electronic warfare systems and the possibility of carrying guided weapons. The planes were used in combat in Yugoslavia (1999), Iraq (2003) and Afghanistan (2001-2002). Technical data: Maximum speed: 1330 km / h, speed of climb: m / s, maximum ceiling 18000 m, maximum range: 12000 km.

Review: Absolutely adore this model. I didn't expect the swept wings to actually be maneuverable, I figured they'd be stuck in the position set during assembly, but they move between positions easily.
Review: An amazing kit just needs a nose weight wings can be adjusted

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***. on 21 December 2025*

The two-piece fuselage and cockpit well fit beautifully; however, the model requires ballast if you want the tricycle landing gear to have three-points of contact with a surface. The instructions for the placement of the ballast and the ballast's weight are missing from the first Academy Instruction Manual. The engines have a three-piece duct work for channeling the air intake. I had to omit two of the pieces to get a good fit of the engines. The other parts of the engines fit well. My canopy mask did not work as advertised. The tricycle landing gear was not designed well in my humble opinion. The gear had small parts that I had to omit. Without the ballast the front gear dangles in the air. The bombs were also a point of contention and difficulty. I could have avoided a lot of tedious work by building the model with the landing gear in the up-position and the bomb bays closed. However, all in all, I enjoyed building the model and I would recommend to other modelers. Although the model comes in three colors: black, gray, and clear, the instructions call for 12(?) paint colors. I used black paint and olive drab paint on the cockpit well. The variable-geometry exhaust nozzles were molded in black plastic, but the instructions called for steel (?) paint. I did not have steel paint readily available, so I used metallic silver. I have yet to apply the any of the small decals to the model. The instructions came in two manuals which had commendable detail.
