Modelmkr Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Well… I just picked up the newly re-kitted B-52H from Modelcollect (via Lucky) kit number UA72211. This replaces the previous version kit number UA72200. This new kit includes the corrected parts that were needed and much discussed on this forum, but there is a problem. The new kit version no longer includes any weapons (previous one had sprue Z cruise missiles and PE for them), inexplicably NO unit/ sqn marking decals (neither of these are shown to be included in the instructions or parts map) and the common/ stencil decals are all printed in black now vs the correct grey (which the previous kit had properly done). I’m a bit baffled by this. So I did email Modelcollect to see what they say/ can do about this, but just wanted the community here to be aware if you were considering this new kit version UA72211, so you’ll know what you’re in for.

Dave Williams Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 What did they “fix” on the H model? I thought it was the first G release that had issues and they had an update to correct the G. Hasn’t heard they fixed anything on the H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelmkr Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Possibly nothing was fixed? The thread was a while ago, so I’m just going from memory. Maybe it was incorrect weapons included? Yes, the G definitely had issues that were corrected. Seems then they merely created issues with the new H kit that previously were fine. Modelmkr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Based on my boxing of 72200, it included the "corrected" nose and aft fuselage parts that comprised the G correction set....nothing else fixed beyond that to my recollection. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andriyko Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I checked my UA72200 image and instructions against the image and instructions posted on the Modelcollect company website for UA72211, both covering the B52H . As Modelmkr points out, UA72211 does not include: The "Z" fret, The Photo-etch weapons wings fret, and the Unit markings. Moreover the B52H UA72211 image on the box, while similar to UA72200, top does NOT show the underwing pilon with weapons mounted - whereas the UA72200 (my kit box top) DOES show the weapons pilon. So, if you want more "goodies" go with UA72200 - if available (it may now be superceded already). Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
