I would like to add an AMT B-52G, vintage about 1968, NMF with GAM-77 Hound Dogs. This was the configuration of BUFFs at Beale AFB, CA, when I did SIOP nuclear strike mission planning for them. I was assigned to the 9RTS doing mission planning for the SR-71 and did temporary duty at the 456 Bomb Wing during their SIOP revision.

I’m not a veteran but I think that’s a really cool idea for a group build and I thought I could try to make a badge. You can use it or not or you can modify it as you whish, this is just a suggestion, I just enjoy making those.

Of course it is very difficult to represent every country or every war but this might be a start for a better one.

12

yardbird ty for joining in on the gb. yann solo ty for creating the badge works well for me would be honored to use what you made. now the only thing is how do i put it in my profile lol .

13

ordered my kit just waiting on it :slight_smile: hope you are all still in on the build and maybe a few more will join

14

The only people who make a Sh’ot D are Legend, with a resin conversion for the Tamiya kit. I’m going to try and pick up the set in November at the Nationals. From what I understand, not such an easy thing to do, so, a good Christmas holiday project.

15

glad to hear it osher like i said if we need some extra time to finish things up no problem as long as we are all having fun

16

Ok guys

First, you have to save the image on your computer: right click on the image an “save target as…”

Then you must host that picture online thru a hosting web site such as photobucket.com Once downloaded, you have to copy the link.(from the function “copy & paste”) You’ll have three choices: url, tag or img. Copy the img.

Then you must paste that link into your signature in your profile. It should be written like that:
