The BUFF

[peter taft]

Hi guys. Here's my build of the FG model Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. I downscaled her some what as you can see - she is my all time favourite Aircraft. Hope you like the model.

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated :mrgreen:

Great looking build Peter! Love the camouflage scheme. By how much did you reduce the print?

Nicely done! You just take the wonders of re-scaling these models as needed for granted after a while. The magic of computer graphics and the skill of the builder - again, well done!

Thank you, that means a lot. She is a BEAUTIFUL aircraft and no way UGLY as her term of endearment implies - a truly GORGEOUS plane :thumb:

Hi. They were a tad fiddly at the reduced scale, but i am about to GO LARGE on this beautiful aircraft.. but she will have a full set of formers i am designing, so if that all works out i will up-load them for anyone who wants to build her big scale. Thanks for your interest friend :thumb:

Hi Peter
This looks good , I worked on these beasts when I was on the flightline. They are big.
I have this model and have refrained from building her because of the size, and as you know I am not afraid of big models.
Again good job.

My dear Grand dad Boats. Many thanks for the nice comments, means a lot to me. The version you refer to is one of my favourites too. The NB-52A {20003} with the X-15. I love this colour scheme, very bright and vibrant :thumb: I was going to be building this version - but that isn't going to happen, you will see why when i start work on the next project - This will be a big surprise for you and some of the other guys too. No clues, so just be patient, and all will be revealed soon :twisted:
