B-1 Bomber “Camouflaged”

Filed under American WarplanesMilitary Airplane Models

b-1 lancer airplane model 2

Country: United States Air Force
Aircraft: Rockwell International Boeing B-1B Lancer
Scale: approx. 1:144
Manufacturer: Corgi
Date Bought: December 8, 2006
Price: Php 300.00

The B-1 Lancer, along with WWII ace Dick Bong’s P-38 Lightning, are the first military planes of my budding hobby. Very much unlike the P-38, the B-1 is a modern plane, with 67 planes still in active service as of this writing.

Aside from being my only model with movable parts (the wings), this plane blended quite well with the colors of my bedsheet. In fact, it blended so well that I almost sat upon it!

p-38 lightning airplane model 1

Country: United States Air Force
Aircraft: Lockheed P-38 Lightning
Scale: approx.1:144
Manufacturer: Corgi
Date Bought: December 8, 2006
Price: Php 300.00

This WWII-era plane, along with a B-1 Bomber model, are the first military planes in my collection. I bought them on the same day I received my writer’s copy of the Literary Apprentice Lite 2006; think of them as a self-reward for having been published.

Scale: 1:400
Manufacturer: Dragon Wings
Date Bought: December 4, 2006

This Qatari A330-300 sports the special livery for the 15th Asian Games, which were held just last December 1-15 in Doha, Qatar. More importantly, however, this plane has the distinction of being the very first aircraft model I bought, making it the current apple of my eye.
