Forgive me for asking as I don't know much about the B-1..... but is this work a major modification you're doing, or a major repair job to a damaged kit? It's extensive work regardless!

Watching for your solution to the decals issue. Am in the first stages of imagineering a (CAD) conversion set to backdate the 1/72 RM BONE kit to a B-1A. NOTE: I built the 1/144 Academy B-1A (rough kit) and used their decals for the white jet. Maybe 1/48 and 1/72 are gonna require drafting a new set, with those as a reference?

Now, if I can only accomplish enough honey-do's to justify the workbench time. Is it even possible...?
