Dragon 1/200 scale B-52G Stratofortress
Re: Dragon 1/200 scale B-52G Stratofortress
I never noticed how tiny the rudder and elevator are. Huge flaps though.
Thanks,
John

Nice work, Tom.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

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.

This B-52 build at Modelzona last year was 1/48. It was HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!BlackSheep214 wrote:Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen.

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.
