No more reason for me to delay ordering a copy of this kit! Jonah

Great, I'm in! Jonah

Thanks for the photos. I’ll need to get one of these! Jonah

In for a couple of copies! Jonah

Very good, I’m in for both! Jonah

It was pointed out to me today that these were the 42 BW's special markings for the 1974 Giant Voice bomb comp at Barksdale...this jet is featured on the back cover of the original Squadron/Signal B-52 In Action. Jonah

Very good!

Wow, never seen that one! Love the eyeball-EVS. Jonah

I don’t think I’ve seen anything different than what you observed, in that the switch seems coincident with the paint change. Jonah

I don’t recall seeing any antennas or other small external details in the Eduard sets that have been released so far, seems a bit surprising. I’d rather have a relatively small external detail set than the expansive PE flap & bomb bay sets. Jonah

Looks nice, Paul. Jonah

I would try some silver decal stripes like these...not sure if they'd be quite narrow enough though. http://www.fundekals.com/stripes.html

Eventually...Not sure how soon I’ll get going, I’d like to see what the aftermarket offers before I get too far along. Looking forward to to seeing your model & hearing your thoughts Paul. Jonah

Looks great! Jonah

My understanding is that Big Belly did not alter the size of the bomb bay, but consisted of high density racks. Aside from the racks, I don’t think a B-52F bomb bay would look much different from any other B-52 variant. Jonah
