Feels like it too, even from a long way away.
Yeah I hear a bomb run from a single B-52 sounds like a freight train derailing.
Bish Mikeym_us: Striker8241: You got it. Actually, there were three clips loaded into the bomb bay. Plus the 25 or 50 on each wing mounted MER. Ye, thats some load. I wouldn't want to be under it.

Well thats a lot of bombs on each of those. Shows just how much the BUFF carried.
WOW, thats some set up. I've never seen this before. So am i right in thinking this whole thing was inserted into the bomb bay
Ok, here are some pictures of the major components of the bomb clip that I'm working on including the cradle that goes on the bomb trailer. I've also included a picture of the clip and trailer I'm trying to model
Left side panel with bombs installed.
Center panel.
Cradle.
I'm waiting on the final 5 bombs to assemble the clip, then I'll post a picture of it. I'm also working on the trailer, which I hope to have finished in a few days.
Wup...it's working now for some reason.
Odd, i have just managed to upload one. But i seem to load them in a different way. I don't use a My Computer option.
No message. The "My Computer" option for uploading images from your computer is not working. A lot of other people have noted the same thing. It just happened recently because I was able to upload images a week ago.
Really, i haven't noticed that. Are you getting some sort of message on PB.
I took a stab at scratchbuilding a "Big Belly" bomb clip and transport trailer. The first clip is almost finished - waiting on the last 5 bombs before I assemble it. I wanted to post some pictures of my progress but Photobucket seems to have put the nix on free sharing. Anyone know of a good free photosharing site?
Thanks,
Striker
Thanks, Bish. It was a long shot, but I thought I would give it a try. I will post some pictures of my progress, but it will likely be awhile.
Thanks again,
Striker, Andy hasn't posted in 4 years, so i don't think he will be getting back to you. The only AM sets i have heard of for this kit is the Goffy models cockpit and bomb bay. But Goffy went out of buisness early last year and their sets can't be found anywhere. But i don't think is was the sort of bomb bay he was after.
I hope we are going to see some progress pics of your build.
Hello, Andy,
I just read your post and I am about to build the same model, so I'm interested how your project worked out. Did you find the parts you were looking for or did you scratchbuild the racks? I know it's been 6 years since you made this post but I hope you're still active in model building.

Hello everyone,
I am getting ready to build Monogram's B-52D. As part of the project I would like to model the full 108 500lb Bomb load that was created by the "Big Belly" modifications.
I could have sworn a few years ago, that I saw resin cast parts available to do this in an ad in FSM But I will be darned if I can find it.
Do any of you people know any thing. Also I am interested in more accurate MERVs (the external bomb racks) as well.
Thanks
Andrew Mitich
