Albeback52 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Do my admittedly feeble old eyes deceive me or, is there just a hint of wing droop there?. Be great if they have captured this very distinctive feature of parked/loaded B-52s. May be a bit early to tell yet but, hope there is a flaps extended option as well as an alternative loadout to the ALCMs. Whatever, it looks beautiful and while it will probably be unaffordable for me, I have already dropped hints to my lovely partner as she is looking for ideas for my 60th!! If this model is of similar quality to their 1/72 AFVs, we are in for a treat Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the link - I couldn't get it to attach!! £70 ain't so bad but of course one would still have to add postage and possible VAT/Import charges in the UK. Allan.

Well according to Google the B-52 has a 56m wingspan and the B-2 has a 52 m wingspan. That difference of 4m is 5.5cm in 1/72 or almost 3cm for each wing. So yes it looks a little too short. Hopefully, it is the camera angle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Quote Modelcollect Hobby Inc. B-52 is bigger than b-2, its a hand making for testing detail and build, not a mold test. It's mentioned in the replies, that's not the 72nd B-52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) It's pleasing to see they're (also) doing the version with the rear .50's. I already have a -G built up (the AMT kit, with the wing droop added), but I might well be persuaded to buy another, if the price is right, and it has wing walkway stripes (it took me ages to do them from my own AM stripes on my AMT kit!). The detail looks quite nice! Regards, Jason P.S. Now that I look at it again, that appears to be the manned tail gun position, not the remote-controlled installation on the -G. I'll have to take a butcher's at their Facebook/web site to see if there's an explanation for this, and/or to help them see the error of their ways.

The lower ALCM on the launcher almost touches the bomb bay doors when closed. The upper portion of they bay is the mid body fuel tanks...
