Revell 1/144 B-52 Stratofortress

Another one to add to the collection.  Being 144 scale there was not much detail to it at all.  The entire cockpit consisted of 2 control sticks, and 2 seats, lol. 

I concentrated more on the exterior finish of this one.  I had some issues with my airbrush(in all actually it was probably me.) So the base color was spray painted on, and the lighter gray was hand brushed on.  I may be hand brushing a lot of things over winter.  I can't use the airbrush in the basement, I don't have a "booth."  All in all though I'm pleased with it. 

On display with my C-17 Globemaster

I like it. Looks tiny compared to the trash hauler

Thanks!  I do like how the "camo" came out.  It was originally going to be brown color, but I did not like the shades of brown I had.  The one just rememinded me of baby poop.Surprise  Glad I went with the lighther grey.

Nice paint work on her.  Have a few fond memories of working on the old BUFF, and more bad dreams of 150 lb. black boxes hitting the ground from 7 ft. up.........

 

If you have a window in the basement, you can rig a booth out of a cardboard box, a couple of clamp lights, a cheapie bathroom exhaust fan, and some clothes dryer vent hose.

My basement is too small, lol.  Hubby's "office" for his business is down there, along with my taxidermy studio.  So I've been modeling at the dining room table, and lugging my airbrush outside.  At least I know in the winter I can just hand brush stuff, and it still comes out looking fairly decent.  Not museum quality or anything.  I suppose if I could use the cheaper acrylic paints (Folk art, Anita's, Americana)I could use the airbrush in the basement.  Hubby doesn't complain of the smell when I use those on my taxidermy specimans.
