FWIW, there is a modelcollect B-52H almost finished up on the Monogram Models Facebook page. Once painted and weathered it looks quite nice. david Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelcollect Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 base on teams works, i think we finished B-52G's corrections design, if all runs well, we will get test shot in 25 days later for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hooker169 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Here’s a pic with all the replacement G parts; nose, tail gun and strakelets. Hopefully we’ll see some test shots in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 That looks really sweet. Looking forward to the test shots! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 How about a conventional G model with harpoons from the 42nd or 43rd BW? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s how I’m going to build mine. I’ll leave off the strakelets, and hopefully Caracal will include a 42nd BW jet in his upcoming G/H release. I’ll have to source 12 harpoons in 1/72 though Edited December 29, 2018 by Hooker169 spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I HOPE CARACAL does a whole bunch of B-52 decals. He has lots of reference photos posted in his B-52 thread here on ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bartkoh Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Is there any chance of a current HSAB & the pylon for the Sniper pod? I realized the current kit I bought doesn't include those Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You know, when MC has all of their B-52 kits out on the market we should do an unofficial ARC B-52 group build. Any B-52 kit, any scale, OOB or loaded with AM... as long as its a B-52 it counts. Might be interesting to see how many BUFF's can get built. Happy New Year all!

torchf4 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 A couple questions for the experts here: 1: Does the MC H kit in stores now come with the corrected nose and tail sections? 2. Did the H ever fly in the early SIOP scheme? (White undersides) and did it ever carry conventional munitions or harpoons in that scheme? Wanna do one in the early SIOP scheme and conventional munitions if possible but not sure to get the H or get the G and spend more on the corrections. TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DUNEDEVIL Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have the H it looks pretty good. Still a few areas that could use some attention but they can’t get them all I think I’ve seen the H in that scheme as far as weapons very limited so you may have to find what you need elsewhere. The H and G are different but the noses are the same. I would opt for the H cause you could build it now the G parts will be sometime soon they say good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TIA 1) Yes, the H in stores has the corrected parts, the G doesn’t and won’t until they re-pop the kit in a couple years. 2) Yes, Cutting Edge made a sheet https://www.usaf-sig.org/index.php/references/reviews/118-decal-reviews/12-cutting-edge-ced72213-b-52s-6 But I’m not sure of the weapons load. Loring G’s were Harpoon capable but I’m not sure if the H was at that time. Edited January 7, 2019 by Hooker169 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

305swag Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can’t wait for the D model to come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Patiently waiting for this to arrive in UK retail stores! Apologies if this has already been covered, but other than the HSABs, Sniper pod and GBUs, does this model have all the bits for a current H in service - tail gun delete, lumps/bumps etc?

They’re doing the strakelet test shots now. If I recall correctly once they come back and are approved the kits can be ready to ship in as little as 30 days. Hopefully MC will chime in here.

ElectroSoldier Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 What exactly is wrong with the G model kit and what will tge correction set correct on the model Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hooker169 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 6 minutes ago, ElectroSoldier said: What exactly is wrong with the G model kit and what will tge correction set correct on the model The G kit was released with an overly bulbous nose, missing strakelets and a D tail gun. There are other smaller issues with the kit, none are perfect, but MC decided to listen and agreed to produce a correction set for the largest issues. New nose, strakelets and Late G tail gun are included. The strakelets had to be redesigned 3 times which is delaying the production of the set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I see. Yes the wrong tail gun would kill the kit for me too to the point i would buy the correction before the kit. I think modelcollect has a long future infront of it while they decide to use the social media platforms to release products Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) My H came yesterday. Here are pictures of the H nose (top) original issue G nose (bottom) and the H tail. Mike Edited January 19, 2019 by P-38 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
