PhantomBigStu Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Finally done, been a real battle but it’s finished, certainly will do things differently in hindsight, not least the canopy, broke not just the kit one but the spare I purchased from italeri 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I nearly didn't see this. When I saw 'BUFF' in the title I assumed it was a discussion about a particularly boring paint colour. Glad I have seen it – it looks excellent. A few more close up photos would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Ah ha :). I’m pleased to hear that. I loved those big belly Ds Edited May 10, 2018 by RidgeRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goggsy Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Good work, and well done for persevering with this. I built one last year and hated every minute of it. I didn’t break the canopy but I swear I went through twenty quids worth of sandpaper to get the thing to fit together properly. Anything that could fit badly did.

FAAMAN Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Nicely done 😎 Got this one in the stash, will be my third 1/72 B-52, the first two were the Monogram kit, one NMF, one camo 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, worse because I wiffled the internal wing box placement up so one wing didn’t fit on it, had to hack it off and as the wing left to its own devices is thinner than the wing root scratch spacers to replace it, and I didn’t get it spot on so there were weeks of sanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Sanding plastic has been put on earth to keep modellers out of mischief... I know it worked with me. Great-looking B-52! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
