Third in
the line of much-awaited decals from Cutting Edge, this
one covers
5 different B-52D/F/G/H airframes. The
decals are very thin with minimal carrier film and
the registration seems to be spot on. The airframes
covered are:-
- B-52D-75-BO 56-0591 "Tommy's Tigator"
from the 4925th TG (A), in the standard silver
over white scheme, with patches of dayglo. This
aircraft flew nuclear bomb drop missions on
Eniwetok Atoll during 1957-8;
- B-52D-55-BO 55-0086 "Snoopy / That's
Tapioca?" frpm the 99th BMW in the standard
Vietnam SEA
scheme with black undersides;
- B-52F-65-BW 57-0162 "Casper The Friendly
Ghost" from the 320th BMW. This aircraft dropped
the 50,000th bomb of the ARC LIGHT campaign;
- B-52G-75-BW "Tantalizing Takeoff" from the
97th BMW in the later grey/green scheme;
- B-52H-BW 61-0025 in NASA markings.
For each airframe, Cutting Edge include a side view
with details of where individual markings are
placed and a top view to show where walkways etc are
located. All drawings are in full color.
They also make reference to the specific fit out
of each airframe, and this would come in handy if
using either the DB or Cutting Edge resin conversion
sets.
Another very nice sheet!
