Armory 1/144 B-1B Wheels
By Matt Bittner
Overview
There were old 1/144 B-1 releases in the past. Panda released theirs and then Dragon took over the molds and upgraded with new exhaust burner cans. Now, though, Academy has released a really nice B-1B that looks superb. But, whichever you have (I have a Panda release) new wheels will look great on the kit and thankfully Armory comes to the rescue.
The Wheels
Armory supplies two 1/144 wheel releases for a 1/144 B-1B, both for the "early" and "late" Bones. Both sets come with "weighted" tires (i.e. "bulged") and both sets are very nicely molded.

"Universal" means the wheels aren't drilled to a specific kit so you'll need to drill the hole out to meet the model's landing gear "axle".
Conclusion
Armory's aftermarket wheels are top-notch and these will definitely look great on any 1/144 B-1B.
I definitely thank Armory for supplying these sets to review.
