Description: USAF AIR FORCE ROCKWELL B-1 B-1B LANCER BOMBER WOOD WOODEN MAHOGANY MODEL NEW Military Mahogany is proud to release this newest updated version of the B-1B Bomber (Lancer) complete with display stand. Model has wings that can actually be swept in and out. Originally designed strictly for nuclear war, the B-1's development as an effective conventional bomber was delayed until the 1990s. By 1991, the B-1 had a fledgling conventional capability, able to drop the 500 pound Mk-82 General Purpose (GP) bomb, although mostly from low altitude. After the absorption of Strategic Air Command (SAC) into Air Combat Command in 1992, the B-1 began to truly develop conventionally. A key part of this development was the stand-up of the B-1 Weapons School Division, also in 1992. By the mid-90s, the B-1 could employ GP weapons as well as various CBUs. By the end of the 90s, with the advent of the " Block D" upgrade, the B-1 boasted a full array of guided and unguided munitions. This development has continued through the present. Operationally, the B-1 was first used in combat in support of operations against Iraq during Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, employing unguided GP weapons. B-1s have been subsequently used in Operation Allied Force (Kosovo) and most notably in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In OEF and OIF, the B-1 employed its full array of weapons, most notably the GBU-31, 2000 pound Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). Also during OEF and OIF the B-1 has maintained a 79% mission capable rate, a considerable improvement over its previous 57% average rate. The B-1 continues to be used in combat to the present (2006). The most recent addition to its arsenal is the GBU-38, a 500 pound JDAM. The use of the GBU-38 reduces undesired collateral damage and is very useful in urban CAS. This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this.
