USAFsparkchaser Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is becoming a gold mine. Not sure how many KI pics you have but keep them coming. I got admit that base is special for me. It was the closest AFB to me growing up. Use to go my grandparents cabin in Northern Wisconsin and would always see them flying over. Pretty much solidified my decision to go into the air force. Was able to attend 2 open houses at the base in 92 and 93 when the recruiter from Green Bay took us up to the base, I went to basic Oct of 93. I have a few of the three guys sheets and was able to score a 2 sets of the KI decals from the Italeri re-release. But I think kursad could co a much better job than the Italeri ones. kI has a facebook page and someone there has posted some nice pics also which I emailed to Kursad.

Darren Roberts Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hey Gator, got any Griffiss pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 These are very cool - too bad there is only space for a few options on the sheet..Who knows, there may be other opportunities for more sheets if the Modelcollect kits sell well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Jonah, beautiful photos all. I think the theme of this sheet was SAC B-52G/H in the older SIOP paint scheme. All these photos are in the Strategic paint scheme. What do you think Kursad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Make a seperate stencil sheet. Do the serial numbers, nose arts, tail flashes which seem only to be on the strategic schemes, the wing and squadron patch, crew names which are sometimes in a box decal and some on a state outline decal really take up a lot of room?

Slartibartfast Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 If Caracal issues a sheet with a Carswell bird, I'll change my mind and buy a G/H and that sheet. Would love a Biggs bird, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hooker169 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Any news on this sheet, Kursad? Looks like Luckymodel now has the Modelcollect B-52H in-stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I remember being at a Griffiss open house many years ago when they operated the F-106. Saw them in the Alert Hangers as well as on display. Anyway Jonah did they not operate the B-52 before 1993? At that same open house the B-52s were doing low level fly-bys as part of the air show. I know I took pictures but they are all slides and trying to post those will be difficult since they are Kodachrome and I cannot scan those for some silly reason.

F4DPhantomII Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 There are some nice pics of the B-52H on these 4 pages.I wish there was a decent 1/72 kit available of the G and H in 1/72 scale. Modelcollect I don't think I'll waste my money onm those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Any updates on the B-52’s? Hopefully you are considering multiple sheets. Especially with all the ref photos posted here. I love the KI Sawyer Jets, please consider them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 This thread is awesome. I forgot B-52's were at Mather. Growing up in the Sacramento, CA area you always saw something up in the sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Chris, I overlooked your question until now- Griffiss operated B-52Gs for decades, but only the B-52H for a couple of years in the 1990s between the time the Gs were retired and Griffiss closed. On a separate note, I wonder if the market would support separate G & H sheets in 1/72? 😉 My small slice of the market would!

I have a Monogram kit as well as an AMT one which I got for dirt cheap. Not sure if I am keeping it as I have heard there are some build issues. I may just bite the bullet and build my Monogram kit. Not sure if I have room for a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
