Dennis7423 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If it's the whole forward fuselage section, perhaps. But not for just the cockpit. I'm sure it will be impressive though! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I don't know, but Peter/Airscale could have a field day doing replacement PE for that one, if its needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerrob Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hi all, Here are some photo's of the B52 at the IPMS show last Saturday. I think it is in 1/48 scale, but it is impressive. A cockpit in 1/32 will be interesting, but will be visible in the end? With regards, Rob Jan_G, Alain Gadbois and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I hope they will next offer a resin Slim Pickens pilot figure, complete with cowboy hat. In all seriousness, I’m intrigued by this kit. If they offer it in a way that the interior is fully visible, I think I’d be in. What version BUFF is this? My personal fav is a 60’s SAC bird or maybe a Linebacker II G-model.

Winnie Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The image of the aircraft cockpit is a D I believe, the resin looks to be a G or H, for me at $150 it'd better be both floors and all stations, which it sorta does look like... It has 6 seats, so the EWO and tail gunner are both there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards, Rob So I'm not following - what's the point of a full interior in the model above? Unless they are resorting to gimmicks like removable panels or a clear fuselage, nothing aft of the flight deck will be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are chasing the "But I know it's there!" crowd, like AMT did with their KC-135 kits. Edited November 27, 2019 by Lee White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing a full interior, I see bulkheads and stiffeners to support the thin fiberglass fuse shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m seeing a fully replicated (and quite nice) crew compartment, the vast majority of which will be completely hidden once the kit is assembled.
