- Hi everyone.. welcome to my latest aquisition.. the beautiful HpH 1/48 B-52 kit. This kit is so intense it'll need a series of videos just to review it!! In this video we concentrate on the massive decal sheets, the massive PE sheet and the huge build manual..Go grab a beer and sit back. If you love modelling and you love B-52's.. this is gonna make you want this kit!!
Well Nige, you need to get their B-36 now and you know it! 😉😆😂🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
Great description kit , many details , thank you very much for posting !🥇👍🏆
Pleasant way to spend half hour...time flashed by watching that 👌
It looks absolutely amazing Nigel! Look forward to part 2 and you actually building it. Stay safe and take care, cheers.
Watched a programme on telly this morning (Airshow 100) filmed at the Jersey airshow 2003. The first plane on was a fly by from a B52H. I couldn't believe how much interest I took in the nose shape :). You certainly know your BUFFs!
Thanks John!!
Beautifully detailed B52 kit, way above my skill level but I know you'll do it justice! Cheers Nigel!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a stunning model this is going to be! It's well beyond my capabilities but it looks like an absolute treat to build, though I'm sure there'll be a slight degree of frustration fitting all the internals through the bomb bay. Perhaps you should practice by building a Tamiya kit through your letterbox!
That is one impressive BUFF!
the mother of all airplane kits......
Sure is!!
Awesome as always Nigel , that is quite an impressive kit , interesting how they have you install the cockpit , and wheel bays ! I can see where some bad language might be used during the assembly !
Found it!
I have spent days trying to find the beginning of your build of the 1:48th- scale Boeing B-52H Stratofortress USAF Strategic Bomber kit.
You mention (I lost track of exactly where) a 1:72nd-scale replica of the ejection seat for the B-52. I cannot be certain, but the True Details line of resin replacement sets from Squadron Models (Military Models Distributors, 1115 Crowley Drive Carrollton, Texas, 75006 USA), might have such an item. As affordable as they are (I years past had bought four for my AMT kit of the North American Rockwell B-1B Lancer USAF Strategic Bomber, paying round $6.00 USD for the lot), I recommend buying several sets of four; after all, you have at least two B-52 kits.
I haven't built that kit David... Not sure anyone makes seats for the B-52's?
@@NigelsModellingBench , thanks. M what I saw was your review.
WOW! Room for the builder to have a turn round the countryside, that has!
BTW, are those cloth seatbelts (round 10:30 on your video) “HGW” or “HTW”, please?
Will HpH make another release that includes parts for the Boeing B-52J Stratofortress USAF Strategic Bomber?
Yes, they are HGW
@@NigelsModellingBench , thanks, Nigel. On what are you now working? I feel as though I am years behind!
the detail is mind blowing, i would go as far to say the kit is slightly under priced for what you get , amazing
"Slightly underpriced"? 😳 €700 is not enough for you? $800 or more? £600? Are you mad? 😂 You cannot say that where the manufacturers can catch wind of it!
I love you to tell me when you are going to build the 1/144 scale of the b-52h model and thank you I love your work that you do on all your models
Not sure yet
@@NigelsModellingBench okay thanks niegel s modelling bench I have the 1/144 scale b-52h USAF b-52h 20th " Buccaneers" Academy model it's a great model I love it I wish i could see when you build your 1/144 scale of your b-52h model keep up to date thanks for my comment I text you you have a great day and a happy new year in 2024
Wow, it's masterpiece. Also it has incredibly much parts. I'm looking forward to watch building video.
You and me both!
Damn, you’re making me want this kit Nigel, my bank manager is going to love you. Can’t wait for the next part.
Ive been infatuated with the C47 kit since i saw it,i thought thier dauntless kit was the height of thier skill till i saw the work on skytrain.
Go get one, and tell em you got it because you saw it here..
@@sayeager5559Theres an HPH channel presentation on the PBY on utube.Hph style dedication is now available to modellers of german armour,Rochm models site is a very mouth watering experience as well.The narrow focus on a few tanks and every version thereof makes there PE sets a cut above any other company out there.
I like all the prep work HPH has done to the fiberglass for you on this kit. Which is why you need to order the flap kit at the same time as they cut out the wings for you. (And you REALLY want the flap kit!! I also got the ALCM set for my kit.) The thing i didn't like was the photoetch for the instrument panel. (And this is true for the B-36 kit too.) On the Concorde, XB-70 and Il-28 kits they had full color printed photoetch instrument panels and for some reason they went away from that. The other thing I don't like (and not a problem with the kit but a preference) is they did an H instead of a Vietnam era D model.
The struts should have metal rods inside resin,i have copper and knickel silver in my my teeny tiny L39.I love opening thier kits,brass is usually eduard,textured parts look familiar.Epic kit,looking forward to a comprehensive,lengthy review.
I think you're probably right Darron.. we will see very soon..
EPIC kit! Cant wait to see to finished BUFF!
Let me know if you want a sniper pod for your B-1 as they don’t use the Litening pod. And the B-1 has a specific pylon too.
Yes please Jarrad!!
I to would be interested. Would like to update my Bone

I checked out their website, they have a very impressive operation. Their C47 Skytrain kit in 1/32 is very tempting .
I must agree ,it caught me by suprise a C47 in \32.Gorgeous looking kit.
Great stuff Nigel , I'm in the process of building there 1/32 Tigercat , they are top notch well worth the money. Keep up the good work . Tom Wark.
Thanks, will do!
Looks like its going to be a good build.
Lovely, just stupendous.
Anyway, wanted to comment on 1 piece of Photo etch, actually 4... The parts you refer to as hatches, you'll notice there are 2 for the aft seats and 2 for the lower seats. these are not the actual hatches, but part of the ejection mechanism, known as :Hatch Lifters", When the sequence is begun to eject and the triggers pulled, the Hatch lifter will open about a third of the way and pull the rest of the hatch with it. I don't know why the front seats doesn't have these, I suppose they are launched off some other way.
The only reason I waffle on this, is that if you put the piece on, and notice it is smaller than the hatch outline you won't yell at HpH...
👍👍
Mr. Nigel, please tell me this will be a video build?
????
What would it take to see a mini series of you building this?
a million dollars lol
Nigel, a question from across the pond if I may. Do you know if this kit is still available? I have not been able to find the BUFF in 1/48 from any other maker.
I'm sure it is Wade. Have a look at the HpH website.
@@NigelsModellingBench Will do thanks Nigel!
Soooooo....are you going to build this monster Nigel?
Ed D ?????????
That's a beautiful kit, shame you won't see a lot of that amazing cockpit detail. What it needs is Tamiya style magnetic removable panels over the flight deck. I bet Nigel's tempted?!
This looks like it’d take 10 years to complete the build! At least for me it would
I know this is an old up load, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get my hands on a 1/48th scale B-52. Preferably in Australia and the B-52 [F] version. When I was about 4 or 5 years old, my dad and I built one (albeit he did most of the work) and it was such a great memory.
Fun fact; that's when both my parents realised not only was I colourblind, but it turns out I'm completely colourblind. I stayed up late one night trying to get this thing painted, I was hoping to surprise my dad for fathers day... I completely cocked it up and instead of yelling at me (we had been working on it for a couple of weeks at this point), he laughed so much he cried.
Now I have have my own son, I want to get this model so we can both work on it together. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
HpH make this kit, which is only available as a G version. There are vacform kits available and also paper models. Google is your friend.
@@NigelsModellingBench Thank you for the quick reply, I really appreciate it. I did find a few on Google, but I found if you ask someone it tends to be a bit more reliable, as they may have dealt with that company before. Again thank you, I will check them out :)
Does anyone make a 1/48th scale B 52 G I was an Aircraft Maintenance Technician Specialists in the 70's and was on the flightline when my BUFF received the EVS system. It would really mean a lot to me if I could find a B 52 G in 1/48th scale. Thank you
Yes, there is a vacform kit.. by Sanger.
@@NigelsModellingBench Thanks. I haven't put together models since I was a teenager but I'll Google them and check them out.
I have been looking for a B-52 kit for some time, can you recommend which would be the best one to go for apart from this one as my pockets are not deep enough LOL.
ua-cam.com/video/6O8mcv5vLEw/v-deo.html I am currently making corrections for the nose on the Modelcollect and Italeri kits. Watch the video, parts 1 and 2 and make your mind up from there.
@@NigelsModellingBench I have watched them and still can't decide, I think one of the Modelcollect versions as I want the rotary bomb bay, i looked for the correction kit but can not find them anywhere.
@@twest003 yeah, correction kit has now run out. If you go for the H kit you dont need the correction set AFAIK? BUT.. does that kit have ALCM's??
@@NigelsModellingBench thanks Nigel, just picked up the H on fleabay.
@@twest003 did you get early or late? How much?
When will the B 52 nose be ready?
Very soon mate!!
@@NigelsModellingBench its only I've got a H which needs building.!
stuartsteel1 what manufacturer?
@@NigelsModellingBench modelcollect.
stuartsteel1 well, you can go on and glue your front fuselage halves together and deal with the seams. You could then build and paint your cockpit but don’t fit it yet...
Is it wrong that I get excited about these videos
No!!!
No, it's an amazing kit, and this is the closest I'll ever get to one!
'Ow much?
