Monogram 1/72 B-52D in SAC 50s scheme.

I loved this model since ever! I remember admiring it amazed on the shelves of model shops in the 80s!
I used to do be an air modeler till teenage but now I haven't built anything for about 25 years.
Recently, I decided to make my big modelling dream come true: building the Monogram B-52 in the SAC 50s livery.
The model is built out of the box with just minor adds like the replacement of the rear gun machines with 4 "Mini World" Cal 50 machine gun barrels.
Instead of going through every single step, I decided to focus more on what I think are the most interesting phases.
The main colors used are:

Kcolor grey primer and Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 in various colors.

Dull aluminium areas: "Tamiya flat aluminium - XF-16", lightly buffed (to reduce the glitter aspect) and then covered with "alclad Klear Kote Matte - ALC313".

Shiny metallic areas: gloss black, nicely polished, covered with "Alclad Chrome - ALC107".

Anti flash white: "Mr Surfacer 1500 White". I know, this one sounds odd but due to the covid, the Testors colors I ordered took ages to arrive and I just used what I had. I'm anyway quite happy with the final result.

Even though it's an old kit, I had fun with it. I hope you enjoy it.
