I would love to see a 1/72 scale sheet for nose art of AC-130s Vietnam era. AOA was going to do one but bailed. Lots of references out there.

There are a few of these one man shows that do that. It’s fine if your busy but you should at least communicate it you can’t deliver

Interesting! Do you have a photo showing the position of the trim tabs? -

Use also will need to remove the trim tab actuators and covers from the bottom of the elevators on the horizontal stabs. These were not present on the YA-10s -

Looking good! Craig you should remove the 3 oval shaped access panels on top of the wings. Also up you should flattened the wing joint cover. By the wheel sponson. It’s basically flat with no roundness to it. -

Yes it’s only a few degrees. However the Italeria kit has theirs coming straight out too much. If the wing root had been shorter then it coming straight out would’ve have been so much of and issue. -

I was pulling for MC to give us a good late B-52 but they missed the mark. In this day and age and the amount of reference material available a decent kit should’ve been achieved. I still think the Monogram is still one of the best B-52s out there. While I applaud MC’s effort to correct their B-52s they still couldn’t get it right. Having lived in Tucson in the 70 and 80s and visiting there all the time since my parents are there I was always at the boneyard and Pima air museum.

Hi Marc, Look on EBay with the username heavykits or search for Click2details on the internet. The same quad 50 cal was the same on both the D and the G so they have to be the same dimension at this point. I’m pretty sure I compared the the guns from the Monigram D and Italeria G and the G kit was undersized.
