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...?

It's always interesting to look and spot little bits of spare parts so well entwined in with the scratchbuilding that it just blends in naturally! That's a busy looking bomb bay wall!
