Academy 1/144 B-52H done 2/17

[cbaltrin]

That's looking pretty sweet! Can't wait to see it finished!

[reserve]

Finished. This one took longer to get off the bench than I thought it would perhaps it was all the teeny little decals















Don't know if I'll do the wings off method again as it's much easier to attach them when there's no paint to worry about. Anyway a great kit overall I am quite favorably impressed with it.

I did make one glaring mistake; let's see if you guys can find it to test how well I hid it

Beautiful! Still a big girl, too…but, in a good way.

Oh wow - fantastic. I think I'll go 1/144th or 1/200th. My wife doesn't have a cutting board that big lol

[stikpusher]

Very nice! Even in 1/1/44 she is still a big one!

[reserve]

Thanks gents this is a really good kit

Gonna take a couple three days off from the bench, I have a bunch of rifle stuff to attend to

[keavdog]

Oh my... didn't realize she was 1/144. Amazing and still big!!!!

[kyledehart5]

Fantastic result!! Amazing to see the size even in 1/144!! Love these planes and yours looks great!

[jeaton01]

In 1/144 would it be a Luff instead of a Buff? Very nicely done.

[TJ]

Excellent finish. If my calculations are right, even in 144th this thing still has a 15-16" wingspan

[handiabled]

Beautiful paint work on this! It's been said already but even in 1/144 scale this is a big bird

[mrt51]

Looks great to me.

[Leon]

Really great finish!

Thank you gents

[brandonk]

[Medicman71]

[reserve]

Thanks guys

[jmarc]

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLook good !

[stuart]

That's an excellent looking build - well done. There are a few of these at my LMS that I've been having a nose at - good to know it's a nice kit.

[reserve]

Thanks gents

S go for it you'll not be disappointed

I'm still trying to comprehend that this is in 1/144 scale and not 1/72 or even 1/48 scale. The detail on this kit is amazing in this scale and the work you've done to set all of it off is pretty dang commendable Mark. Out of curiosity.....just what are the dimensions of that cutting board?

[reserve]

Thank you sir it's 14 1/2 x 19". B-52's are just flat out big

[deafpanzer]

I know I am late! Beautiful work on the big bird!!!

I was recently looking for a buff kit and the guys in Dayton told me the academy kit was the best out there. Really got me into this build. Sounds like it’s built up well for you! Now i just have to wait for the post server to recover so i can see the pics 🤣

[reserve]

Have to agree with the Dayton crowd; this one's a gem
