The folks at Meteor Productions used to turn out some great
aftermarket decals with some of the best instructions/color
profiles on the market. They've unfortunately ceased operations,
but before they closed, they issued some final decals including
this set of B-52s.
This set covers an interesting array of Stratofortresses across
time wearing some nice nose art. These aircraft included:
- B-52G-120-BW, 59-2592, 92 SAW, 'Spokane Washington'
- B-52G-100-BW, 58-0189, 379 BW, 'Special Kay'
- B-52H-125-BW, 60-0001, 2 WG, START aircraft, 'Memphis
Belle IV'
- B-52G-80-BW, 57-6485, 97 BW, 'The Big Stick'
These markings were released inconjunction with several sets
of resin updates to the venerable Monogram 1/72 B-52D to bring
that kit up to G- or H-model configuration since the AMT (re-released
by Italeri) would be too much of a pain to fix.
Highly recommended (if you can find them!).
