I got up close and personal with a BUFF at the Avalon air show a year or two ago.  It was smaller than I expected.

I think it's a bit deceptive as the fuselage is not as wide as we are used to seeing with modern widebody airliners, guess bombs are smaller than (most !  :lol:) passengers! but it does have a 185 foot, 4,000 square foot wing, and a MTOW approaching 500,000 lbs....   

At the time I formed my opinion I was standing underneath it with my head in the bomb bay.  But, yeah I was comparing it to a wide body.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
