Giovanni Micali Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm creating this topic related to the Modelcollect early B-52 versions to share some impressions with anyone interested but especially in the hope that Modelcollect will look at it and will consider some small corrections on the next "Early" b-52s releases . I was one of the first buyers, straight from the factory, of the Early G. I'm not an "obsessive" modeler but specially after seeing the built of Paul Boyer on this site, I say that the model looks, to me, very nice! I really like it! It has very elegant lines! The flaps are beautiful! With all respect, It's 1000 times better than Amt/Italeri - I mean, now we have a model of a B-52, not a kind of toy with 8 jets that resemble a thin B-52 with an erection on his wings 😊! You can clearly see the effort Modelcollect did in listening to modelers and correcting the nose etc... However, there is at least one thing , unfortunately very visible, that, in my opinion, need correction. This is the "Cockpit top front window". This is represented closed, like in the recent releases but on all A to F and early G-H models it was a window. Even in the "- G Linebacker II Vietnam" version this was still a window so this item is important even for the future Modelcollect releases. I'm trying to upload some of the photos I sent to Modelcollect, unfortunately I had no reply from them (Strange, because normally they are very prompt and helpful). Even only this small correction would make, to me, a perfect Early B-52. Everyone and especially Modelcollect are welcome to comment, thank you!

Trojan Thunder Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I think this should have been posted in Jet Modelling rather than here. this is for completed model builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giovanni Micali Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi, Thanks a lot for the info. There is any chance I can change the section of this post straight into Jet Modelling please? Or I have to create a new post in Jet Modelling? Thank you for the help anyway. I think no one is interested in early B-52s! 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giovanni Micali Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 I could only manage to post this topic on: Jet Modeling Archived Topics . Is that ok please? Thanks again! Giovanni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
