andrew.deboer Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Academy. Aftermarket exhaust nozzles are the only thing I would add... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Academy 12620 B-1B Lancer hands down! Check out in box review and OOTB build review here. BTW, Caracal released an excellent decal sheet CD144003. 3-D printed nozzles available by sapguy from Shapeways. Check this other ARC Forum thread for the link on page 3.

Gator52 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks for the links Dutch, really looks nice. I'll backdate mine a bit, from the parts breakdown it looks like it will take some straightforward filling for the targeting pod pylon and the towed decoy housings, no grinding or cutting required.

not2p Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It looks like Academy is releasing a new 1/144 B-52 next year after B-1B. Probably we will see a new tooled 1/144 B-2 in 2021? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Great news about the B-52, I can’t wait to see it! Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I would very much bet that their B-52 will be a current B-52H in the same way that their B-1B is in a current configuration with the Sniper pod and weapons load. Maybe other versions will follow later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 This is freaking awsome. Hopefully they will start with the H latest version and then do a SAC version that covers the 80’s. And then all the subsequent ones after that G, D. This is outstanding news. I actually called for this in another thread, asking Academy to do a 52 same quality as their B-1.

Teeradej Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hopefully proper HSAB and guided bomb loads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably we will see a new tooled 1/144 B-2 in 2021? It looks like Kursad at Caracal did it again! He releases a 1/72 B-52G/H sheet, announces another with 1/144 sheets to follow shortly and Academy does a new mold B-52H in 1/144 scale! I love it! Yes, I do hope that G, F, D kits follow along, but I am not holding my breath. Maybe an AM outfit will do quality castings from this new H for the others. We will see. (Okay, I'll take off my prophet's mantle now.) But, this is VERY GOOD news. R/ Dutch P.S.

I’m almost to the paint stage on my B-1B and it’s been fantastic; a B-52 and B-2 would be great to go with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Everything I've seen and read about the Academy B-1B is positive and makes me want one, I hadn't seen the B-52 news and I am very excited about that based on the Bone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The kit is outstanding. If the B-52 is the same quality I think Academy will make a killing. And the options for the resin and decal guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Anyone have any other info on this B-52? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
