Italeri 1/48 Lockheed TR-1B

US Air Force, 5th SRTS, 9th SRW, USA 1980

TR1B_014 TR1B_001

As the TR-1A from Italeri was so impressive in its size, I bought and built the same kit, which comes with the parts and decals to enable the two-seater TR-1B to be built. No aftermarket was used, and like the TR-1A I was quite sloppy in building this kit (witness the wonky anti-glare panel, canopy framing and yucky decals). Still, at least I've managed to keep the periscope on this one! Finish is Halfords Appliance White over their white primer. Not a lot else to say. Nice kit (raised panel lines), simple build, very big wingspan. This kit was built in the Autumn of 1995.
