B 52 Stratofortress 1/48 does anyone make one?

I built the 1/72 B-52D when I was a teenager. It was a monster, a 1/48 scale kit would be huge. You'll need a table to display it.

A 1/48-scale B-52 would be impracticably enormous for the vast majority of us. Where would you put the darn thing? Even a 1/72-scale one has a wingspan bigger than my twin bed.

Wasn't there a 1/48-scale B-52 pictured in FSM a long time ago that somebody scratchbuilt?

I have seen that Sanger 1/48th BUFF on ebay a time or two several years ago.  If I remember correctly, it sold for around $300 US.  That thing would take up half of a room once completed and you would need a HUGE work bench to build it.

way back in high school, my friends brother built one.

he hand painted it with the old testors square bottles. It took something like 5 bottles of flat black to brush paint the underside.

the thing was massive. LOL

Im pretty sure the largest B-52 your gonna find is going to be 1/72 1/48 would be rediculously huge.
