  1. Hey, just noticed you have listed a Loring AFB B-52G in your "done" list. I'm gathering references on one and have the AMT kit, planning on a SIOP scheme from the 70s/80s. The kit has the wing extensions, I haven't come across a photo yet of a Loring based bird with those (apparently for ALCM equipped birds only), have you?

      Those look pretty good! I was not impressed with the Almark sheet at all. The eternal guardian nose art was way oversized for the AMT kit and super thick not to mention they make you cut out each individual decal as if you had printed them yourself. And the sheet was missing “The moose is loose” armament square.

      I’ll have to put this on the back burner and like you said wait to see what the Model collect kit looks like, I’m on an FB-111 kick right now which is keeping me busy anyway.

      Wow, what an enormous oversight on my part. I built mine as ship 195 “Eternal Guardian” with wing to body fairings😡 and 195 didn’t have them!  

      Looking around I guess the early AMT B-52G boxing didnt have the fairings but the late release did. Check around though I could be wrong.

      I can’t believe I didn’t catch that, I’m usually pretty good at researching things beforehand. I made so many mistakes on that build it makes me want to do another. The shitty thing is I hunted for that Almark sheet for a year but I think I can draw and print them, we’ll see.  

      Anyway, to answer your question, I dont see any 42nd BW jets on-line that had them. I saw a Griffiss jet with them but thats not New England, lol
