Great plane indeed in the Century Serie (F-100, F-101, Etc). Our US frriends have been always good at flying huge planes in their aerobatic teams. I remember the Thunderbirds have flown also F-105 Thunderchief for a while till the day one of them broke in flight during an exhibition. For sure, as for the noise, a team of F-100 or F-105 was deserving its name: Thunder Birds. I have always wondered why they have not used B-52 in their aerobatic teams ... no limits
More seriously, which kit this model comes from?

This is what can happen when you use a B52 in an airshow. See Wikipedia 1994 Fairchild Air Force Base B-52 crash for detailed account of this tragedy.

From memory, the pilot consistently flew outside the standard flight profile set for the aircraft and managed to kill several people. A certain amount of arrogance is to be expected and condoned in folk ready for the role, but there have to be limits. Douglas Bader acknowledged his part in the accident that cost him his legs but also enabled him to deal with the disability and fly fighter types in a conflict environment.

@PICARDIE If I'm not mistaken, this looks like the kit from PaperAircraftModels. http://paperaircraftmodels.com/model...0d-super-sabre

Great progress so far!
