JakubJakepilot Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hi, do I have it correct ? Your kit UA72202 + your updated parts containing new nose and tail parts ? What about the missing streaks ? Like in this picture ? This also should be added to your "update" box with retooled parts ... I am not saying your kit is useless, but unless you add this streaks, you still can not build the kit from the box even with your updated parts, because: - the decals in the kit are for 57-6492 "Old Crow Express", which has the streaks - missing in the kit - if you want to build another plane, without the streaks, you need to get new decals AND "stub" pylons + MERs - missing in the kit - if you want to build another plane, with the streaks, you need AGM-28 pylons with I-BEAM adapters - missing in the kit From my point of view, the kit is still miss-matched ...

But, still, you need new decals for the ALCM birds, as the 57-6492 "Old Crow Express" did not carry ALCM missiles in Gulf war, which your decals depicts...

I would venture to say http://caracalmodels.com/ would be an excellent partner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This kit was definetly not buildable from the box ... People told Modelcollect many times what is/was wrong, me included, and they only did half the work .... go figure ...

Speedy Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Heroes! Now I certainly have to get me this kit and I know it's not finished yet. Keep up with these communication for works under construction with all the planned kits in near future. Just another approach, or step along 3D printing, that makes a perfect model available for everyone. Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGreek Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 So, I am a 'lite' fan of the 52, so don't know all the details at all. But a quick question. I have noticed 2 different gun tails they have been showing. What/when were those different tails on the Gs? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
engineman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The buff had a couple of tail gun configurations . As built the G moved the gunner forward , and he operated the tail gun remotely , the actual armament was still 4 50 caliber machine guns. The H changed the G armament to a single 20mm Gatling gun remotely operated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DUNEDEVIL Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Because the B-52 G kit has not been rereleased with the corrected parts as for now you need to request the parts and there is a shipping charge. I read that the parts may not be ready for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert key Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Has anybody heard any new on the correction set or test shots of the new parts. For the (G) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Did they capture the upwards "kink" in the top of the aft fuselage, as show below? Originally, the top of their fuselage was completely straight all the way to the very end. Hard to tell from those CAD shots but it doesn't look like they tried. To me, it's a pretty significant feature of the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me, it's a pretty significant feature of the real thing. 11bee, are you sure that is a "kink"? To me it looks like the wide part of the vert stab is just covering part of the top of the fuselage. You can see it in the new CAD drawing Hooker169 posted above. It is the lighter green part of the vert stab under the dark green part. You can see that it flows down over the top curve of the fuselage making it look as if there is a kink there. I may be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.
