HpH 1/48 B-52 H Preview. Big Bad Buff!!

[@obnox1968]

Bloody hell Nigel! What ya gonna do, live in it! Ha ha! Cracking model mate, all the best with it!

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent video and preview of your HpH 1/48 B-52H! Big sure is an understatement for this model kit and it will be something when you build it!

[@chrissakal532]

The BD tail code is also from Barksdale AFB , Louisiana. It's an Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) unit. I worked on B-52s in the depot.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow!!!!!!! And the PE with it looks great too!!!! Loved modeling when I was a kid, I guess that's why I still do it.............

[@ianthomson9363]

That's going to be huge! It's another kit I'll probably never buy but I'll be watching everything you do with it. A 1/48 Buff? Ridiculous, but we all want one!

[@mbignell1]

Wow, that's a beautiful looking kit, thanks for sharing it with us. It's the closest I'll ever get to one :)

[@karlosmitz3027]

Oh my goodness that is huge!!!!! Thanks for your unboxing - looking forward to the review!!!

[@ovidiuschley3346]

Fantastic kit B-52 at 1/48 scale , great details of the model , it's very big and great presentation !

[@nackdibby7960]

Super cool! Thank you for sharing! You going to have to build a hangar to keep that thing in! Cant wait for the build!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

That would be cool!

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

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) from “HGW” or “HTW”, please?

[@RobS-z5u]

Nice review Nigel. Great to see aircraft are back on your channel 😀.

[@darylsuess8990]

Wow Nigel, what a beast. Beautiful B52. Looking forward to the review and build, should be epic. Cheers!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks 👍

[@hun6444]

Beautiful kit. Look forward to your future videos on it as you progress.

[@allensjoquist1924]

The word that comes to mind is BIG to describe this kit. Gonna need a bigger room to put this one together Nigel, lol. Looking forward to seeing this one come together. Cheers.

Amazing B-52 kit Nigel, Can't wait to see it hanging on the wall.

[@runways_railways]

Wowww!!! That's amazing. Looking forward to seeing it's development

Dear Santa 🙏

[@Duececoupe]

I'll be happy when I finally get my dirty mittens on a 1/200 USS Yorktown CV-5, a 1/48 B-52....I'd have to move into a former RAF hangar, then again....a 1/48 B-36, I might consider it! 😉😆😂 Great video Nige, as always! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻

[@wigglesend]

Blimey 😳 That is BIG model. As for where to put it... I reckon a bit of cotton round each wing connected to a drawing pin in the ceiling should do it 😉

[@allgood6760]

That isn't a big box.. that is ginormous! 👍✈️🇳🇿

[@rsrdevon]

Lucky you on getting your parcel from fedex so soon! I’ve got a parcel that has been on a truck for final delivery 3 times now and they haven’t delivered it. So tomorrow will be a 4th time!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Fingers crossed!

[@panzer-meister]

1/32 B-52 ? It's so biiiig !! Also I'm looking forward to watch building video.

[@iangarrett3308]

Sweet-Baby-Jesus!!! That's one BIG mother.............!!! And I thought the B-1B Bomber in 1/48 scale was an absolute monster!! Two models I would LOVE to build, but don't have the money nor the room to display it in. I really need to get a personal studio with workshop!!

[@jarradbradley6934]

Thanks for the shoutout mate. Planning on doing some more videos ASAP on the B-1b cheers

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

Had you referred to Revell Monogram's 1:48th-scale model kit of North American-Rockwell’s B-1B Sentry USAF strategic bomber?

[@stephaniecohu6594]

Nigel, it is one huge model!

[@simonallen6427]

Hi Nigel, the stand-alone cockpit set in 1/32 and isn't for this kit!

[@unit0033]

I was confused by that

[@richardpacheco6341]

That is one awesome kit, that kit should be hung flying. Can't wait to see this one assembled. I'll be watching.

[@haraldsydness4902]

the BD Tail code is for the 917th Wing, for Barksdale, the LA is for the 2nd bomb wing which is also at Barksdale Louisiana. The 917th Wing also operated the A-10 for a while, believe the flying tigers used to be it?

[@haraldsydness4902]

Castle had the code CA for its G model B-52 in 1992, but then it got CAncelled... (Really bad pun there...)

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for putting me right Harald. I got my info from Wikipedia, or maybe read it wromg? LA is the only tail code these days yeah? I have Fairford a few miles from me.. I must go look at some Buffs in action.

[@andrewbeard9636]

Hi Nigel long time no see ,don't know if you remember me I used to serve you at antics in stroud ,hope your well ,looks like a cracking kit.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Yes I do. Hi..

[@preshnaidoo1043]

😳I have no words. I have so much envy. And so little space

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

Wow, what a beast of a kit! BD is for Barksdale AFB, LA but those buzz letters where for the A-10 unit stationed there and LA is for the BUFF's that are also stationed at Barksdale. Would enjoy watching your build videos of this monster!

[@scottatsensult4430]

Nigel love to see you review a hph kit would love one of there c47s but there is a hole lot more to do in the fuselage as all internal ribs and stringers are photo etch parts would love to see a 1/32 c47 from hobby boss also would any one the rough size between the b52 and the b36 peacemaker as hph has or did one in 1/48 gotta love those 6 giant radial and four jets thanks nigel

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Some people say size matters... Impressive, but where would I put one? How many walls would I have to remove even to have space to build that? Well I can watch Nige's videos instead whilst I keep hoping for a 1/32 B36 or a 1/24 Lancaster...

[@tonygary7611]

Incredible size

[@Looney2ing]

Have fun with this beast. P.s. I enjoy you talking 'crap' or more friendly rants

[@Francois997.2]

775 Euro, was looking for a brother for my B-1B 1/48 but 775 is a bit steep unfortunately

[@garymurphy5133]

As soon as you picked up the 6mm and 10mm metal rods for the wings, i thought to myself i bet Nigel improves them!

[@willthorson4543]

Hph first plastic model kit will be a 32nd Helldiver. WW2 US carrier aircraft. I'm pretty excited for it.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

[@lstein3372]

Great review Nigel, thanks! I wonder if it would be possible to RC that beast? But the most pressing question is how accurate is the nose?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

It would never fly, it's too heavy. The nose looks good to me.....

I have the revell 1/48 B-1B and this B-52 1/48 is way way bigger than the bone....

[@NigelsModellingBench]

You bet!

[@colinc5685]

Hi Nigel - I'm confused - the aircraft itself is 1/48 (as per some box labels) but the cockpit is 1/32 - is this meant to be a separate display item?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Cockpit is an additional item.. there is a 1/48 cockpit in the kit.

[@joecalobeer6396]

Didn’t HPH make the PBY-5 cutaway fuselage? I thought it was 1/32 also!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Yes Joe. Full kit and cutaway versions are available in 1/32.

[@johnnyhollis9977]

Hi Nigel, Christmas came early then! I can remember being at the Mildenhall Airshow (as was) many years ago and they were flying a B 52 along with a Vulcan bomber! The B 52 did some low level passes down the runway and a couple of circuits of the area. This was closely followed by the Vulcan that completely upstaged the poor lumbering big B 52 by virtually standing on its tail and going vertical halfway down the runway! British at it's best but the noise!!!! Enjoy your build, the kit looks amazing. ;-)

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I saw the same thing at Fairford 2011 or 2012? only the Vulcan was on the Runway and the B-52 flew overhead. The Vulcan may perform better at airshows but the B-52 is by far the superior bomber in my opinion. I said at the time.. B-52 just given an additional 40 yrs service, last Vulcan flying on charity donations!!
