B-1R(FB) FireLancer (Profile only)

Given the sudden plethora of firebombers, I decided to throw my hat into the ring with this WIP (as I continue working on the full on profile)-


The Rockwell B-1R(FB) FireLancer, based on Bagera3005's B-1R Lancer (at least I think he did it) Hi rez available here

And while I do have a B-1 lurking in the stash, it's already been earmarked for another whiff.

Mach 1 water drop, I'd like to see that!      You could always dig out a B-52 and do the whole State in one pass...

Like it.  If they can use a DC-10 for a firebomber why not a B-1?

Are you thinking internal storage in the bombays is enough or adding a tank underneath to connect all 3 bays?

Either plumbing the three bays together to feed either the central or aft bay (aft would probably be the better option) or maintaining the individual bays to drop singly or in combination- Bay 1 water; Bay 2 aqueous retardant; Bay 3 dry retardant.

I'm calling it pretty much done...

Very cool ! That would be wicked to see, and very quick transit times.

No need to drop anything.  Just overfly low and fast and let the sonic boom snuff out the flames...

Great artwork.
