Kursad, Can I ask a favor? Can you also include the tail gunner's windows as decals on the 1/144 sheet please? I believe that Minicraft and the Academy rebox include these, but the RetroWings set does not. No need in 1/72 as there are plenty of masking sets available. Bon voyage!

Ghostbase Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Reviving this thread to ask a question. I purchased two sets of this excellent decal set (as well as two of the Academy kits) and I can't decide which option to start with. My ideal would be one of the B-52C options - 99BW and 7BW - because I know that the B-52C model initially had all gloss white undersides as well as gloss white engine pods and pylons. I think the engine pods were part-painted white later in the B-52C's career. Unfortunately the Caracal reference site for this decal set isn't available and photos of the B-52C model are far and few on the internet. Can anyone here confirm that 53-0407 or 54-2672 were painted with the engine pods and pylons all gloss white? Thanks. BTW I am a +1👍 for the 1/72 scale versions of these decal sheets with a Revell B-52D kit in the stash. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustiepal Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 I would love a B-52D sheet to go with the Tamiya 1/100 B-52D kit. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbryan911 Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 Looks like Diamond 'Lil got a good cleaning and touch up. They had a ceremony honoring Airman 1st Albert Moore, who shot down a MiG on Dec 24, 1972. Pictures from USAFA's Flickr account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I have completed the reclamation of my waterlogged kits, well only the plastic parts, I could really use several of these 1/144 B-52 General Purpose marking sheets.

CJH Posted September 2, 2025 Share Posted September 2, 2025 I am just chiming in with another thumbs up for the 1/72 sheet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
