Building the Modelcollect 1/72 Scale B-52G Stratofortress Bomber --“BUFF”

Рет қаралды 368,302

4 жыл бұрын

In my longest model video to date, we build, paint camouflage, detail, and weather the Modelcollect 1/72 scale B-52G Stratofortress kit #MDO 722202. Modelcollect aftermarket correction/upgrade parts that include the nose, tail, and flap sections are incorporated. Additionally, we substitute the supplied BUFF markings with emblems from the Caracal B-52G/H decal set #72077. This is Project #19 and the 6th overall Viewer’s Choice winning request. It is a behemoth of an amateur model undertaking!

That is one of the most visually appealing paint jobs I have ever seen on a model. You perfectly captured one of the best looking color schemes the BUFF ever carried and knocked the project out of the park. Very nice job!

I want to hear you explain why you are doing the things you do, mistakes to avoid, tricks/tips to achieve certain effects and so on. Just watching you build the model with little commentary is...I dunno...not much point. Just my $0.02 though. If you get more views the less you talk then I guess that is the way to go and I am the odd duck.

Not just because of the bomb loads they are capable of dropping. But just the awe inspiring size and the distinctive sound and the Black engine smoke. All tell a person that something big is going to happen. Mind blowing power.

That initial starting on this video was a "Quick start" by use of Starter Cartridges verses a Normal start by an external Hobart Pneumatic system that uses forced air to turn the engine turbine blades to starting speed. The Starter Cartridge is a Canister packed with gun powder about the size of a large coffee can and is installed on each engine on Alert Aircraft (nuclear loaded) So at a moments notice, the pilots can start the aircraft quickly without external power, by a simple electronic switch that can start either one engine or all 8 engines at once. Using Starter Cartridges are also a bitch to clean before another cartridge can be installed to bring the aircraft to a "Ready Status" again. I may have worked on this Aircraft with tail number 218...I was based at Mather AFB California from 1981-85. Nice work btw!

totalpkgpainting Hobart's are power only. They don't provide air for ground start. For that, you'd either need an air cart, with either a Hobart or md 3, or a -60. -60s being gas turbines, which provide air and power. Carts AREN'T gunpowder, that burns far too quickly and powerfully, they would blow the breech. Breeches ARE a pain in the ass to clean, to ! Specially after QC stops you from using easy bake, which works excellent, and instead make you use the Mil H approved freon cleaner, which SUCKS ! NOT gunpowder, they are made of a much slower burning solid fuel, roughly the same as say the SRBs on the shuttle. Made either by Olin or Morton Thiokal ( the people who made the shuttle SRBs ). B 52s by the way, have only 2 flap positions, full up or full down. No ailerons either, just spoilers. And the B 52s no longer stand nuclear alert, since SAC stood down, but they still do cart starts, practice generations and MITO launches, just to keep in practice for an EWO generation and launch.

The G had the straight turbojet P&W J57-P-43WB engines (only the H used the TF-33). I fueled Gs at Seymour Johnson and Barksdale in the early ‘70s. According to a reference, 58-0218 was at Seymour around that time, so I probably serviced it. I built the Monogram D model back in the late ‘70s. The tail # was flown on a Linebacker 2 mission to the Kinh No railroad yards by a friend of mine in a modeling club and a courageous American, Lt. Col. Tom Lebar from Wyoming. The old lady is now supposed to stick around until 2050. That would be (wait for it) 95 years in service. The newest H model will be 88. If that is not the greatest tribute ever to the Boeing company, or any airplane company, I can’t imagine what is. Great job on the build!

Awesome build, thoroughly enjoyed. The history of the B52 was a bonus. These aircraft have been my favorite since childhood. Back 10 years ago visited the static display several times at Orlando airport B52 Memorial Park. When you were building the bomb bay I think I saw the ghost of "Major Kong / Slim Pickens sneaking around. Thanks for sharing this beautiful build

Amazing job!!! I have a soft spot for the B-52. I have scratch built two radio controlled B-52 gliders, a G and a D model. A lot of fun making something so iconic fly.

Hi dcairns61, that's pretty cool and scary! I gained a greater appreciation for the B-52 while doing this model for sure. 😃

Great camo! I too worked F-16's. You're right. The mission comes first. The camo you chose was on our G model buffs. My fav. Our buffs last mission was Bagdad, then to the boneyard. How sad. RIP 379th Bomb Wing. Wurtsmith AFB Michigan.

I've been sitting on a 1977 production Monogram 1/72 B-52 kit that I found sealed at thrift store a few years ago. Been waiting for one of those "blizzard weeks" where it snows so much there is nothing better to do than kick back and build a model of this stature to pass the time.

The 'H' model full-scale 1:1 is shown in the live video. It has fans for engines as well as a few other spotting features. I spent a few hours (USAF '63-67) on the 'G' back in '66 doing nav-doppler radar repair (30151B, 30154). The model kit correcty is a 'G'. The finished work is museum quality and best I've seen. Thanx for showing. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Bob P, thanks! Yes it is the B-52H at the start, but I believe most viewers realize that I used this opening footage as illustrative since the B-52G has been out of service for quite some time-long before the higher quality video imagery we can obtain today.
