F111Fan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 2 things: - I see Tomytec do 1/144 weapons sets including AGM-158 JASSM; does anyone know of other manufacturers who offer it (perhaps Eduard will downscale their Brassin sets?), or is it going to be a case of modifying the AGM-129s provided? The Tomytec set is long OOP sadly. - Is anyone aware of where a decal sheet for all serials exists, or whether one is planned? Either way, looks a lovely kit and I've ordered!

Bit of a mismatch in armament and markings, unless there are some additional tooling changes/optional parts not shown. All G models modified for carriage of the AGM-86 ALCM had 'strakelet' fillets added to the wing roots as a treaty verification measure to allow the ALCM carriers to be readily identifiable by satellite photos (the H models were all ALCM-capable but the larger bypass section on their TF-33 engines were sufficient as a distinctive identifier). 58-0183 Valkyrie was an ALCM airframe, and one of the vaunted 'Secret Squirrel' birds that launched from Barksdale with the then-classified conventional warhead AGM-86C on the opening night of Desert Storm. So she should have the strakelets fitted. https://www.dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/b-52/58-0183_12.jpg The other two options shown are non-ALCM birds, thus the standard G/H wing roots are correct but obviously not AGM-86s.

Jakub Cikhart Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well, I wrote them to their FB page stating that Eternal Guardian has wrong camo scheme, they said thank you, but, if the pics are not corrected, they did not correct it. What a shame ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad-4N Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Anyone know which is a more accurate kit? Great Wall or Academy? Talking about the plastic, I don't care about paint schemes or decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the plastic, I don't care about paint schemes or decals. If it comes down to the B-52H, I read often that the Academy kit is more accurate overall (and true to the current Blocks) while the GWH kit displays finer panel lines. I have the GWH, I am no B-52 expert but it is true that the blocked engines nacelle exhausts are annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the plastic, I don't care about paint schemes or decals. I have both kits and when I made some comparison,it seems GWH B-52's radar altimeters are missing,so too are the VOR aerials on the tail fin,the bomb bay is too long and details beyond the rear main undercarriage are also a bit vague. The bomb/wheel bay box section longeron is also depicted wrongly, it should look like a long plank not a half tube. The comparisons are made by using drawings from Osprey's B-52 books and superimposing outlines of the kits with actual pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
