B-52G Stratofortress in 1/72 Scale

The B-52 Stratofortress is a landmark in military aviation, noted for its long-range capability and strategic role during the Cold War. First developed by Boeing in 1955, the jet bomber became central to strategic air operations. The B-52G variant, introduced in the early 1960s, features strengthened structure, upgraded avionics, and longer range through increased fuel capacity and external tanks.
