US bombers in Anti-Flash scheme

[sandiego89]

Trick would be finding an early model BUFF kit. One with the turbo jet engines.

That'll be the Monogram one, the one with the brackets on the wings and fuselage to hang it up............. 

Still a good kit if you don't mind raised panel lines and lack of interior in the bomb bay and gear wells.  I have 3 of them in the stash.

I am currently fighting with the Minicraft kit in 1/144th.  Think I have put more putty on this than any other kit so far.

The Monogram 1/72 B-52D is a great place to start for any early B-52 tall tail version.  The external differences on A-E models are limited, and can be modified, and in some cases just ignored.  And most had the white under flash early in their careers.  The F had bulges on the side of the engines for extra generators. The G-H are quite different and best to start with a G/H kit. 

I did my D as an E, and with the white under flash (and a few other WHIF tidbits underneath)

A really great kit.





The wall mount is great for these big kits.

A 1/72 B-52 of any mark makes one HECK of a wall decoration! 

And a sight safer than hanging it from the ceiling as Monogram suggest you do!

I had the D hanging from the ceiling when I was a wee airman back at GFAFB, held up by thumbtacks in the ceiling drywall.  Painted it in variations of the camo pattern suggested...and had either a Flanker or Fulcrum (I'm thinking more Flanker) diving on it for a gun pass to the cockpit.

Beautiful!
But why one F-104 has Sidewinder and the other not? It wouldn't make him jealous?
What system did you use for making the fighters removeable? Magnets?
