KursadA Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 CD144020 is this one scaled down - I initially wanted to include some options from CD72077 but was not able to keep the color count within the limits. I am sure there will be other 1/144 B-52 sheets in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fessSto Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Looking forward to the tall tail sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If this one sells fast enough I will be motivated to release another SAC B-52G/H sheet as soon as this is sold out. But the next B-52 sheet I will release will be the "tall tail" sheet in both 1/72 and 1/144 in summer; and another current/recent -H sheet in the fall. All sounds fantastic; perhaps 'recent' can be stretched back to the early 90s era to include Hs with FC, GR, CW, & KI tail codes (and perhaps Gs with LZ, CA, LA, & MO)!

Okay, I will wait for it. I will still buy CD144020 though, probably two copies, and I will definitely buy at least two of the "Tall Tail" sheets in 1/144.

JakubJakepilot Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 It is great to see another sheet with Gulf war BUFFs ! I have a question though: the sheet has two options - 58-0177 "Pettie 3rd" and 57-6475 "Miami Clipper II" - which you can build OOB with ALCM pylons. another option is 58-0168 "Treasure Hunter" which needs AGM-28 pylons. and another two options are 58-0241 "Pterodactyl Courier" and 58-0195 "Eternal Guardian" which needs "stub" pylons. any idea how could anyone build those non-OOB options ? are there any aftermarket pylons ? as both AMT/Ertl/Italeri and Modelcollect G kits have only ALCM pylons IIRC btw, I tried to talk to MH Models from CZ for doing the pylons, sent them even pictures and info, but got no response back so far ... Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two different AM manufacturers have produced HSAB pylons, one OOP and one 3D printed on demand. 1. Buffmaster Designs No. BMDR72010 1:72 HSABs (Heavy Stores Adapter Beam) designed for the AMT/Italeri kits. (OOP now) 2. Click2detail No. p153 1:72 B-52 Heavy Stores Adapter Beams (HSAB), in production. *Designed for Monogram D/F kits. 3. Click2detail No. p66 1:72 B-52 Blanking Plugs (Stub pylon?), in production. *Designed for Monogram D/F kits. I highly recommend click2detail pylons. I have both actually and the detail is quite convincing. Wash in warm soapy water, prime, and paint before installing the small sway braces. I have to research the Harpoon attachment lugs and wiring, but the pylons look very good. HTH, Dutch Edited March 2, 2023 by Dutch assigned kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if I'll use them for my D kit or try to modify them for my G or H kits.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I should receive the decals in a week or so - it will take me a couple of weeks after that to make them available for preorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 @KursadA, I assume that in the coming days you will issue your "May Releases" message with all the sheets you intend to release then? Looking forward to it. Kind regards, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Thanks for the reminder - I will post the May releases thread as soon as I find some time today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Perhaps these will inspire Mr Tamiya to enter the 1/72 B-52G/H market 😆 Thanks for doing these! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Oh also am looking forward to a SAC part 3 sheet. Fairchild and Minot, would love to see these in 36081 or SIOP 2 paint. maybe some SIOP 1 schemes also. Am sure it would receive the same interest as this current release.

KursadA Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 I did not have a chance to finalize the profiles yet, but will soon enable the order page without profiles so the true believers (who do not need to see any profiles 🙂 ) among you can preorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
