B52D Zinc Chromate colors & Bombs

The Hasegawa US Aircraft Weapons Set 1 has 6 M117 750 pound bombs, and 2 MER. 

Hasegawa's 1/72nd weapons kits should give you all the 750 pound bombs you will need, along with the MERs

If you are interested there is a real B-52 D  (Viet Nam camo) on display at the USAF Museum near Dayton OH and there is one on display in Yipsalanty MI (Viet Nam camo) at Willow Run Airport. Yipsilanty is west of Detroit and East of Ann Arbor. This was the airport and factory built by Ford in order to build B-24s during WWII. There are several other aircraft on static display, e.g. F-84, B57, and there is a flying B-17G and a Flying B-25 you can get a ride in for a fee.

Striker8241 (I may have spelled it wrong) has a build of that Era B-52 in these forums. Very good information in that thread.

 

Thanks Missip, Now that I did the search for strikers posts, I feel a humungus DUH! coming on. I knew about the BUFF GB Sorry, I just wasn't thinking on that one.

So, any ideas where I can get the bombs and the glass I need?

I remember seeing a B52D or two during the war with two different zinc chroate colors on the gear doors.  Mostly the interior was green but a yellow door had popped up on one or two. 

Here's a few shots that might help:
