smitty44 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I have little interest in 1/48th scale kits, but I love the 52 and this kit looks to but something special. Now to rob that bank 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Over $2,200?? This is a level of insanity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Wow, just wow. HLJ is smoking something fierce! The kit is by no means cheap but the price from HPH on their web store is 640.50 euros - a little over $710US at today’s exchange rate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When is this thing being released? My lease is nearly up and I need a new place. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware, Dale. You can probably fit your bed in the HPH 1/48 B-52, but not the drums and the stash. I’d keep my flat if I were you Hubert 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My relatives sold it when they thought I was as good as dead. They replaced it in a rush when I remained alive with a HUGE couch I cannot remove. They must have brought it in through a window. I have not slept in a bed since leaving hospital. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you’ve been smoking something green and fierce. I honestly want a B-47. I like the 52, but don’t “love” it. I’d say you could do this kit proud. I’d say that if you look at it asin investment in your entertainment hours, you’d find that one of these is the best value you could ever have on an hour by hour basis. But the key is to build it. Stash queens do one no good. My stash has shrunk by about 2/3. I just replaced plastic found at yard sales with cool resin. On about a 5:1 ratio. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty44 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Well if they ain't gonna do the 32nd scale kit I may just have to find a way. Always love seeing them at airshows. First I always look at the tail codes to see just how old that beauty is. Last crew I talked to was out of Barksdale and the pilot looked like a student at the High School I work at. Every one is different and unique, and there is a bunch of great nose art. 1960 right below...are you friggin' kidding me!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2020 Smitty, remember, if you actually do one of these, you’ll need to reproduce every last, single one of those vortex generators on the horizontal stabilizer. Sounds like fun, huh? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty44 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I would literally just put about five on a week whilst I do the rest of the kit. Put horizontal stabs on last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
