Crap, cant I just send them to someone when they want to see them??
Allen,
You just need to paste the link from Flikr in the Insert Image window. See the instructions I sent you.
Russ
Lol, sure [:D]
Thanks, Allen. I appreciate that.
Russ

Yeah Buffjock;
Nice builds. I wouldn’t be to concerned about viewing closer than 10 feet, gosh knows some guys are using microcopes these days to build…
Russ thanks for posting those, that’s the first XB-52 I’ve seen built, and congrats on it being a vac kit.
Dom
Thanks Cliff, you know the story, by the time you finish the first one, you’re actually done practicing and ready to make a decent one…lol
I agree, looking forward to seeing some more of Buff’s work.
Dom
That happened to me over Christmas…now I’m shot…lol
Hey Buffjock;
Rich and I should have the BUFF GB up on Wednesday, we would be happy to have you join, and of course you are still welcome to post BUFF STUFF here on Russ’s thread.
Dom
You’re welcome, Dom. BTW, my apololgies but I misunderstood about the vacuumform - it was a mod that includes the nose from the wingroot forward, not the whole kit.
Russ
Well, Allen did a pretty good repair job there, I can’t see any evidence of damage.
i wish I had one of those vac conversion kits myself, LeMay didn’t like the tandem, but i
always did like the B-47, and that original X-BUFF looks a wee bit faster.

I am looking forward to a BUFF GB. Heck, I might even build the BUFFski (Tu-95) I have.
Since we are playing a bit of show and tell, here is my last BUFF.
I have 2 more H’s that I want to finish. I have decals now for my aircraft, 61-0025 with the noseart my crew came up with. I have been possibly inspired by the fine work here to put it on Alert. That display base will take up some serious space.
Sorry to hijack your thread Russ.
Allen, is that the old OK Models XB-52 conversion? I tried to find them for over TWENTY years.
I finally found Lone Star Models resin XB/YB conversion and jumped on two of them.
Hmm… Group build, XB-52… WAY tempting.
Excellent models. I thought I had a lot of BUFF’s. I think I have around 18 of them in various types.

Beau,
Yes it is. Ive had it for at least that long. Ya had to glue it together and cut off the nose of Monogram “D”. Ive got nothing but pain and suffering in that as it sits,built it in the early 80s, rebuilt it last fall, but the longer it took the more madder I got… Oh and i STILL got extra decals left on stock.
BTW Thanks to all who think these old heaps are worth lookin at… Any questions will be entertained to my best abilities, Just remember to keep expectations low…
I find it quite ironic (?) that the day I get asked to join a B-52 build, a Tupelev Tu-95 Bear H arrives on my doorstep…
NFN
Allen
Jim,
Hi and thanks for the words on my old heaps…
I was asked to join the B-52 GB today and 15 minutes later the UPS dude was on the porch with a Tupelev Tu-95. i see a lot of late nights (and prop painting…) in me future.
just wonderin, when are the reds gonna put some Rolls Royce RB-211s on that thing? Or, I could send them some extra podded J-57s…
