Jonah Glad you liked them - thanks for your input in the design process, and I am looking forward to the unvarnished feedback in my mailbox as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yes. Kursad, you nailed it with this sheet. I have put off building a 1/72 B-52 for years, but I have no excuse now. Thanks for the artwork and accuracy. I also can't wait for the 1/144 scale release. It will probably get done first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I am going over “I survived KI Sawyer” on Facebook and and seeing LOTS of cool ref picks that I will send you. Hope wr get some 410 Bomb Wing stuff on your next release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 So what does everyone think? I already started working on the next B-52 sheet - let me know what you would like to see changed / improved on the layout, instructions etc. so we could have the best B-52 sheets in the market. The ALCM/Quail markings sheet is also coming very soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JakubJakepilot Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi, what about some nose art for the Gs from Gulf with "stub" pylons ? I know that you have to source them somewhere (so far only Buff Master Design for Italeri/AMT kit), but some of the birds had nice nose art. And you can only find two decals for this config, the old Almark decals and Italeri kit (which you can not build it that way without that BMD set ... go figure). Thanks !

Some 42nd BW birds in the early SIOP scheme and Gulf War birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Kursad, I really like the decal. The artwork is superb. The choice of subjects is also refreshing. The printing is spot on. I hope that you will offer the data markings as a separate sheet for those of us who want to build more than one subject from the same sheet. Lastly, as a favor, could you include another two to four pages of color diagrams showing the camouflage pattern for the whole aircraft? One sheet could be l/r side views for both SIOP and Strategic schemes, while the second sheet could show the top and bottom views for both schemes. It was not necessary for the overall bomber gray scheme B-52H sheet, but would be useful for the camo or natural metal/white schemes. As for my preference for future releases, 42nd BW B-52G 58-0239 "Moose Gooser" in SIOP scheme circa 1974. Keep 'em coming!

Dutch Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 To all, BTW, I received a reply from the Air Force photo archives to my request for photos of B-52G 59-2580 "Miss Piggy" of the 97th BW circa 1980-81. The initial email acknowledging my request gave me some hope, but last email dampened my spirit. I have included it below. This email is in response to your request for a USAF photograph of the B-52-G, nickname "Miss Piggy" We searched the USAF photographs in our collection, however nothing was located. Sorry we were unable to help you with your research request. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.

Hi Dutch, I omitted the camo schemes from the printed instructions mostly due to cost reasons. You know that they are available at the reference Web page listed at the back of the instruction booklet, right? Adding these would have required me to print a 12-page booklet, which was cost prohibitive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Kursad that sheet looks amazing. I only have one Monogram kit and one AMT kit but to be honest I will only ever build one B-52 in 1/72nd (famous last words). The one I would really like to do is that Balls 8 I think it is called. It has that day-glo scheme. In fact any day-glo scheme would interest me. Are you leaning that way for any on your second sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KI would be a great subject for the Modelcollect kit OOB given they had the AGM-129 mission. Certainly more appropriate markings for a jet with AGM-129 than the kit option, never mind that the kit decals are quite lacking to begin with. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yes KI would be good. Love those AGM-129’s. Stratofortress Rex 60-0048, The Black Widow 60-0040, Diamond Girl 60-0060. These are the 410th jets I would love to see. Also throw in a ACC KI tail coded one while your at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yup me two, especially the references for KI SAWYER I sent Kursad. I sure hope he uses’s them Both in each scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 The new B-52 sheet is still a few months away - folks, I just released a B-52 sheet and these are expensive to print. I am working on the design and will release it in the early months of 2020. The 1/144 scaled down version of CD72077 will be coming in October/November timeframe.

Dutch Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Woohoo! I will start building a 1/144 B-52G & H now! Edited December 6, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 The inventory of the second 1/72 sheet (CD72077) is now down to fewer than 100 sheets, so I started working on the final layout design of the third sheet. This one will have some of the the Sawyer, Castle, Loring etc. jets that you have been asking about. Expect something very similar to CD72077 in design (i.e. same stencilling sheet, one main markings sheet and a third sheet with serial numbers). CD144020 (1/144 version of CD72022) is coming in December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Great, I’m in for both scales! Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Can't wait for CD144020. I also like the Loring birds and hope that "The Moose is Loose" will be on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
