A couple of years ago my wife and I were visiting Barksdale AFB in Bossier City La. which has a nice outdoor display museum. I told my wife that the B-52D on display looked exactly like the Monogram 1/72 B-52D in my office. She agreed. Finally I noticed that there was a small sign in front of the beast telling about Monogram coming to measure this very aircraft for their upcoming model. This was it!
Here's my example hanging in the stratosphere of Max's museum and office. Normally most of my models are 1/48 but at 1/72 this guy has a 31" wingspan. It's one I haven't gotten around to showing the gang but maybe soon! Fun story I thought!
