falcon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 A little pic of my latest project. The Monogram/Revell 1/72 B-52D. I will be building this one as a B-52C using a Microscale decal sheet. Rescribing this beastie was quite challenging at times due to limited space on the workbench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastmcc Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 very cool , will be watching this with interest ... thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Wooo, nice. I like the B-2 nonchalantly hanging around in the back ground too... This kit is on my hit list but the panel lines have stopped me from going ahead with a purchase. I'm glad to see you tackling it though. modelglue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Nice. It dwarfs that B-2 that's poking in the picture. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Respect for rescribing that lot. I doubt if I'd have the willpower for all that scribing, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Nice scheme! Walkways look good. I thought it would be in the camo scheme for some reason. The overall silver looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Building this one for the Cold War SIG display at SMW2013 and fancied doing it as an earlier B-52C in the original silver/anti-flash white scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) When fuelled on the ground, the Buff has a sagging wing. Replicating this can be real fun http://sacmodellersgroup.freeforums.org/italeri-b-52h-t54.html If not, just tell any wiseass that it's empty.

Creepy Pete Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Unlike the AMT/Italeri kit, the folks at Revell/Monogram got the wingdroop correct. They don't need any fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Now there's a model you don't see very often in a scheme you almost never see it in. Great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still wont sit on the outriggers as a fuelled up aircraft without surgery. Ask me how I know. Now there's a model you don't see very often in a scheme you almost never see it in. Great choice. Here's one. W Edited October 4, 2013 by Wolfpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Excellent. Not only in a cool scheme but tooled up ready for a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 i think it looks great so far, Falcon! Myself, i wouldn't worry about the wings. It would be a lot of work to fix, it might compromise the structural integrity of the wing too. Just press on with what you got!! Thanks for posting! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
