Finished up my 1/144 Revell B-52H today.
Assembly was very straight forward, and everything fit together with minimal sanding. It was a very relaxing kit to assemble. And for $5…I am think it is A-OK.
I wasnt to pleased with my paint job, but I will live with it. And the decals really fought me. I know, I know…I need to use Future! Thats my mistake. [

But here she is… [:D]
The last pic is hanging with my AMT/ ERTL 1/72 B-52G for comparison.
Comments are welcome. Thanks for looking!
Very Cool and Well Done and you got to Love off the planes hanging up there [:D]
1 think to ask, what kind of decals did you use on it ?
If they are regular decals you might want to look into getting this, http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=82400
Just my [2c] , but it does look GOOD

The decals were out of the box (14 years old). Thanks for the heads up on the decal set-up. I have several kits that could benefit from that.
Very nice. That’s HUGE…even in 1/144th! I love tha last pic with all of the planes. I hope you wear a hard hat in that room.
[#ditto] Looks good to me.
Well done TAdan.
Really nice job. How many bottles of paint did you go through ? What is the wing span ?
Well done! I’m a little biased on the scale though. The wingspan is about 40cm.
Looks great,you really need an Air Traffic Controller in that last shot.
Nice work on the BUFF. It makes a good contrast to the 1/72 version.

Very nicely done.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
As far as how much paint I used. I probably went through about 1/2 a jar of Testors MM Enamel to paint the entire thing. When I did the 1/72 Bird (years ago) I know I used atleast two full jars, and probably 3/4 of another, lol. (Shoulda bought a bucket of house paint, lol…)
