I never noticed how tiny the rudder and elevator are. Huge flaps though.
Thanks,
John

Nice work, Tom.

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen. I enjoyed building it even though it is 1/200 scale. Just wish the company that released the 1/32 Lancaster would come out with a B-52. Talk about taking up more real estate than the Lancaster kit when built up. :giggles:

This B-52 build at Modelzona last year was 1/48. :wow: It was HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!! :shocked:
I think that the base alone was 4’ x 4’ or maybe 5’ x 5’

I have a 1/48 B-1 in my stash an that will be one BIG bird… a 1/32 BUFF?!

Yeah, that’s a big old bird in 1/48 scale. LOL! But what kit brand was it? I looked in scalemates and there’s no 1/48 scale BUFF kit out there. Could it be a resin kit?

Hell yeah.... I wanna build it in 1/32 scale. Go Big or Go Home is what I like to say. LMAO!

I can not remember what the source of the build was. But it was the crowd choice award for the contest last year.
