USAFsparkchaser Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Please can I get some 410BW KI Sawyer options! 1/144 and 1/72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Is the lineup final? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 CD144020 is basically a scaled-down version of CD72097 plus a Griffiss-based jet ("SAC Time") that I previously included in CD72077. There is another sheet with serial numbers and wing walkways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Oh Hell Yes!!! These are so worth the wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Beautiful! Thank you Kursad! Would it be safe to assume that there will also be a corresponding sheet for the new Roden 1/144 KC-135R kit using many of the same bomb wing subdued artwork for the Shamu scheme? What was that old chewing gum advertisement with the cute twins? "Double your pleasure, double your fun!" Edited March 21, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I'd love to build each option...hope I live long enough! 🤪 Thanks for doing these- Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) That's the one, Paul. Looking forward to B-52G/H SIOP sheet in 1/144 also, but I will get cracking on this one when released. Edited March 21, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds so appealing, but requires a lot of research to find serial numbers and possibly nose art for each unit. Maybe if we start now, sometime later this or next year… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Great - I am looking forward to getting some help from you so I can put together those overdue KC-135A/E/R sheets in 1/144. On a different note, can one of you photograph the Academy B-52 tail next to a ruler and snap a high-resolution photo from straight above with a smartphone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stefan buysse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hi, I bought this sheet before I owned any B-52G's. Now, I found some GWH B-52G's at a discount in a Czech webshop and they're on the way over here. 🙂 The GWH kit is a B-52G without the "strakelets" at the wingroot. Could some of the B-52 experts here please help with the question of which of the G-model subjects on the sheet have the "strakelets"? Option 1 (57-6475): pretty sure yes because it's a Secret Squirrel mission aircraft. Option 2 (58-0177): pretty sure yes because it's a Secret Squirrel mission aircraft. Option 3 (58-0195): ? Option 4 (58-0241): ? Option 5 (58-0168): ? Option 9 (57-6485): ? Option 10 (57-6504): ? Option 11 (58-0164): ? Thanks, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 According to my references, 58-0195 and 58-0241 are the only non-ALCM B-52G options on the sheet- Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do like that moose on the tail. Am I right in thinking that there is no ALCM modified B-52G kit that has the strakelets out of the box? Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The Revell kit has the strakelets, I plan to use it for my builds of the Barksdale Secret Squirrell options. If you go with the Revell kit, you'll likely want to fill the windscreen and use the decal--the kit windscreen framing is the kit's weakest point. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thanks again, Chris. I'll look out for a Revell B-52G. I don't recall seeing one around here, but I might get lucky. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 And it was reboxed by ACE- Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If it was "reboxed" by Ace, it was probably an Ace original. Revell issued a lot of Ace kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) I thought the mold history was Crown >> Revell >> Minicraft i.e. they are all variants of the 50+ year old Crown kit. edit: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/crown-455-boeing-b-52h-stratofortress--169722 .
