That is starting to look very awesome. Also with the nose you cut off a small diorama of a decapitated Davis Monthan B52 would be feasable.
All the best.

Almost done. The aluminum paint has been applied. Now, on to decals and the canopy. Due to lack of any kind of canopy framework on the vacuum formed canopy, It's will have to be represented by decals.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

It must have been strange flying something that size in a tandem style cockpit.

Ladies and gentlemen, I now present the Original Buff, the first of a line of aircraft that continue to serve in it's latest version after 60 years of service and still going strong. The XB-52 that first took to the air in 1952.

Re: Chuck's original BUFF, converting B-52D into XB-52 *Fini
This has been an impressive build to follow, Chuck and the results more than reward your perseverance...I'm sorely tempted to hunt down a Monogram B-52 and get this conversion as well...it's quite sad that there are no models of the XB-52 available when you consider the history and effects of its progeny...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

I don't think I'm going to see many of these built so thanks for sharing what was a great build and fantastic model.
