The Stratofortress 1:33 Scale
 

Hi guys. Firstly i wish to thank Ron {Ron40} for sending me this original card model of the one and only Boeing B-52 Stratofortress {GPM #66} 1:33 scale. I thought all my Birthdays had come at once when Ron offered to send this to me, and at great expense to himself... a true Gentleman and friend. Thanks Ron. For those of you that don't know this aircraft, and more particularly this model of her and the size when finished, i have attached a picture to give you some idea of what's going to be coming up :eek: I managed to get ground clearance from the good lady wife { Chez } to go ahead with this Giant... lord knows where she will be placed when complete :rolleyes: a tad too big for a coffee table display :D Because of the size and the area required to build her, i will be starting with the smaller parts - Engine assemblies - Undercarriage assemblies and anything else that can be stored aside safely. The build process will be somewhat slow, time is in very short supply, but i will do my best to keep some flow running. All i can now say is this... The BUFF is MY favourite aircraft of all time EVER !! you guys who know me will be quite aware of this :) So stay tuned, and enjoy the ride guys.

I wish you well my friend on this immense undertaking.

OOOOOO Gooooody Goooooody!!!!!! Way to go Pete!!!! You too Ron :D

So you went and done it now, eh Peter? Well, being that this is your baby, I've no doubt you'll do it up right. Keep the goal in mind and have lots of fun (I think you will).

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEZE One heck of an airplane i thought i was good, my god you will be busy on this one.Thats the biggest Buff I ever saw in model form. Cant waite to see this build lord oh mighty what a plane.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek ::):):):)

I have this kit too and I gotta be honest. There is no where for me to put it if it was completed. I'm thinking for me, this is a guaranteed no build. =X

I would recommend building this in such a way that you can disassemble it.
