orion 395 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I am just about finished, I have the black, SAC bomber tan and SAC bomber green done and am about to mask for final color FS34079 forest green. This kit was originally molded by Revell in 1954, I was a bit young to build it at 1 year old so I decided gave it a try now.

orion 395 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I lived a few miles from a B-52 base in my teens, 1966 to 1970 in MA. and watched the black bellied SEA camo B-52Ds headed to the "Far East". We went by the base taking my older brother to college and they flew right over us. Quite the sight! I think this kit was originally a B-52B, then modified as a B-52A which there were only 3 and one carried the X-15. The B and D were similar so I am calling this one a D. The decaling won't be too strenuous as there are only 2 decals. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
