USAFsparkchaser Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 HOLY MOLY THAT IS AWESOME! DECALS, DECALS , DECALS!!!!! only thing I see missing is some JDAMS, but has LGB’s. Also can any one make out if those are AG-129’s or ALCM’s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Does anyone see a tail gun for a SAC version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Britmodeler thread only shows 2106, 2017 decal option, long after the tail gun was removed. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235082412-1144-boeing-b-52h-stratofortress-by-great-wall-hobby-gwh-partsbox-artschemesdecals-release-in-2020/ Since the tail gun/rear fuselage extension is on a separate sprue, I suspect that if they do an “early” H kit, that kit will have a new tail sprue with the cannon.

I also see the pylon used for targeting pods & range pods, and what looks like a LITENING pod. The blanking plate for the tail gun area looks to be on the sprue with the aft fuselage & engine pylons; can't make out what the part next to it is, possibly a tail gun? Nice that the MRT antennas are provided separately, that will simplify modeling the 80s/90s Hs. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Taylor Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Very nice. I await an early 1960s version with Skybolt! Cheers, Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I just ordered one of these from Sprue Brothers. I surprised we haven't seen more post about them. Has anyone seen a build article about them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve had the kit for over a month, but just haven’t started it yet. Assuming that the fit is good, it seems a pretty straightforward build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 i should think that Caracal CD144005 B-52H Stratofortress sheet will de very nicely with this kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwinn Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just bought Minicraft D, wish I knew about this. Curious did D model in Vietnam have SEA camo or SAC camo? Some Ds looked suspicious. jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It most definitely will be nice for this kit! I've had those in my stash since they came out and can't wait for Kursad to release some of the other B-52 sets. Hopefully we will be getting some more B-52 variants from GWH soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Got mine today and first impressions are very good! If it builds up as good as it looks in the box, it's a winner in my book! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm still on the fence with this one. I have several of the Revell H's and G's along with a bunch of the Minicraft H's and a couple of their D/F kits. The kit does look good. Would like to see one built up.
