1/48 B-1 Bomber by G-Factor Models

[Kuhn Global]

A friend of mine, world class military modeler Ernie Gee, sent me an email with some savory photos of his latest builds. I just had to show them. I think he is going to join. He has been VERY complimentary of all the works by all of you here.

anyway... and a little off topic...

First off...check out this awesome photo of Ernie at the Lemoore Air Base...

Doesn't that kick ass?!!! :D

Anyway... this B-1 is massive at 40 inches in length!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek: Check out the beautiful detail!!

This, and other fantastic pieces you guys have posted, (including the winner of the 2007 RI Modeling Contest), really makes me want to break off a Military Modeling section!!!

That's a lovely representation of the 'Bone'. It looks like a giant F-111 Aardvark..

Love the shot of the Hornet on the glide slope at NAS Lemoore. It's even more exciting watching them catch the wire at sea!

I don't wee why we couldn't break off a military modeling section, there are plenty in the finished and WIP sections.

Damn, thats a big bird...and a very awesome build at that, I do hope he joins

That's looking huge alright. the detail make's it look even bigger. Tend to agree with Talen too.

Well, someone has to say it. Might as well be me.
Ernie Gee B-1 Bomber is "BAD TO THE BONE!!"
There, I feel better now.

Wow, what great panel lines!!!

... known Ernie for years - damn good modeler and it would be nice if he decided to join the Forums ...

Also, yes - you should break out a Military Vehicles section, not that I'm biased or anything...

Nothing can beat the old A10 Warthog for coolness though.

I haven't been doing allot of military kits for a while now, but I still love seeing them.
Came out damn good :D:D

I just found a HUGE A10 kit at the hobby shop about 2 weeks ago. I can't remember what scale it was, but the box was "opened" slightly, and the engine housing that I could see was at least 5" dia. The price they wanted wasn't all that small either:eek:

I'll set up the military model section tomorrow. I actually have some models to put in there myself, I need to dig them out of boxes and take new pics. I did a lot of military planes and armor before I got so deep into sci fi.
