Sebastien Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi, I am looking for four-view plans of the B-52D and G. I have 1/72 plans for the B-52H, are there plans for the earlier versions available ? TIA, S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I have in my inventory, and also did a quick check of the internet and found a few places you could buy the prints from. I did put bomb on the B-52D from the 7th Bomb Wing Carswell AFB Fort Worth Texas from 1973 to 1975 Before I was assigned to the 509th BW that same year. If you have a particular subject in mind via serial number is the best source for the antenna locations. This is a sun faded D from the Pima Air Museum Tucson AZ. I have additional photos of this and the G. All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusitanian Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Besides the tail gun and the engines, the B-52G and B-52H are, in all practical respects, identical aircraft. Best wishes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 A few more. Badly faded B-52G. And of course a very early H would retain the M61 20mm cannon in the tail. Some more. Chaff system Flares, underneath the horizontal stabs. Antennas Enjoy All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to think of the first 30 years or so of the B-52H's service life as its "very early" years! 😆 (For anyone not already aware, the last H-models rolled off the assembly line circa 1962 - the Vulcan tail guns were removed shortly after the changeover from SAC to ACC in 1992). I've yet to see what I would call outstanding plans of the B-52 family, but the best overall, albeit rather small and not perfect, are in the Japanese Famous Aircraft of the World volume on the BUFF. These include profiles for several variants up through what I'd call the "middle aged" H-model, with EVS and OAS blisters on the chin and nose but before the tail guns were removed. For modeling purposes the D is pretty similar to most early variants with the obvious exception of the tandem-cockpit prototypes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I do remember is the C-130, B-58, Buccaneer off the top of my head. Also formed this this morning. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA7jX4 Associated weapons and trailers from the time period. Taken from places like The Museum of the Air Force Dayton Ohio, Peterson AFB Colorado Springs Colorado, and the Atomic Museum, Albuquerque New Mexico.

I did not have any of those. Should come in handy with the AMT B-52G build in the future. All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 If you check this blog: http://fg786.blog87.fc2.com/blog-category-183.html you'll see the (brilliant) modeller uses a 1/48 plan for his B-52: Was this plan provided along with ID Models B-52?
