Worldwide Trading 1/221 PS5404-2 Stamp B-1 Lancer Boss Hawg Jet

An absolutely wonderful model showing great detail for its size. It is a good weight for its stand and has excellent durability as it's predominantly metal.

My first experience with the B-1 Lancer was sometime back in summer 2015. My family was visiting at my grandparent's home in Northern Kentucky, when we heard the sound of a jet flying low and fast from the wrong direction (We live next to the Cincinnati Airport so most planes have a predictable flight pattern). Just as we made our way outside to see what kind of weird plane was flying around, A B-1 flew over us, just a few hundred feet off the ground, with both of its wings swept back! It was incredible to see something that big moving that fast! We wondered if North Korea had finally done it? Turns out there was a Bengals game that afternoon, and that the Air Force was flying the plane for promotional reasons. Not WW3 reasons. Since that day, I wanted one of these to help keep the memory strong. This die-cast plane is very detailed for its size and price. The cockpit impressed me the most, as there are no real gaps between the window panes and the frames. The canards are nice and symmetrical. While the wings will open and close in unison, there's a little play in the gear and they aren't perfectly in sync. So, if you want to display the B-1, you may have to do a little nudging on both of the wings to get them both in the same position. I am very happy with this purchase!

This is a very nice desktop model of a B-1 bomber. It is 8" long and most of it is made of metal. It is not a toy. Even though it is a smaller scale than the F-104 model (1:221 vs. 1:120), it is a much larger and heavier model. Some reviewers have reported an issue with the stand breaking. I have not had a problem with my stand, but the stand for it is the same size as the stand of the F-104 so it is rather heavy for the stand. Still it is a beautiful model and I would not let the stand keep you from purchasing it.

Plane model was wonderful! Very well detailed and wings swept back smoothly. My only problem with this specific model is the weight. Because die-cast metal models are so heavy the stand on which the plane was sitting was not strong enough to support the plane. So the connector ended up snapping and now the plane sits next to the stand instead of on it.

A+

I really love the Postage stamp collection from Daron airplanes. I have a few of their 200 scale, but their Postage stamp airplanes are phenomenal. The attention to detail, the build quality, all are extremely high quality. Onthis B-1,with the wings open or closed, she looks awesome! Even close up, the details do not diminish much, if at all. My collection is quickly growing. Great job with this B-1, it's a great addition to my collection.

Not a bad model. A good model for the aviation enthusiast who is both space and financially concious.

I have a bunch of these postage stamp models of cold-war-era aircraft and this one is by far the largest one. It's significantly larger than the models of the B2 and the B52, which are (in real life) larger in many dimensions - especially wingspan. This is generally a good thing, although it does look at little odd when the models are beside each other and the B2 and B52 look significantly smaller than the B1B.
