GlennCauley Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I would like to build 1/72 NB-52B "Balls Eight" mothership with an HL-10 (lifting body) under the wing. Here are the kits that I plan to use: Italeri #1378: 1/72 B-52G Stratofortress Anigrand Craftswork #7214: 1/72 Northrop HL-10 Lifting Body Are there any threads that deal with the mods to convert a B-52G to the NB-52B mothership? Any conversion sets? And is there a pre-made mounting pylon available (for mounting the HL-10 on the B-52), or halfway decent plans available? I am not looking to uber-detail the B-52; as long as it fairly closely resembles NB-52B "Balls Eight" it will be okay by me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You'd be better off using a B-52D kit of your choice. Turbojets instead of later turbofans and the tall tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Why not start with the Monogram B-52B / X-15 kit? Granted it's really a B-52D but it has many of the NB-52B mods including the wing notch, wing pylon and decals for Balls 8. Edited July 7, 2017 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
