Oct 16, 2017 · Kursad's KC-135 sheets are for the current AAC / AFRC / AMC (latest) scheme and do not match the corresponding SAC era Bomb Wings (in SIOP or Strategic schemes for the B-52 / Duraluminum, aircraft gray, or Shamu for the KC-135s).

May 11, 2007 · The B-52Gs went also but that's the 'EARLY' SIOP scheme. it has the more 'desert pinkish' colored tan compared to the late scheme. To me it looks like a sort of SEA camo painted over the chrome dome, retaining the white belly as these camouflages went down allong the fuselage sides.

Feb 19, 2009 · Alternatively, before the Strategic scheme (or more accurately before full repaints on some birds), there were some that had 36081 nose sections but were otherwise left in the original SIOP scheme (three greens over white).

Oct 26, 2009 · SIOP scheme showed up in the early 70s I believe, as indicated by the B-52Gs that deployed to Andersen with it. By the time Desert Storm rolled around, there were only a handful of aircraft left wearing this scheme, according to my references.

Jun 29, 2022 · 34201 was used in the "SIOP" paint scheme that preceded the strategic scheme; by the time of Desert Storm only a handful of operational jets still wore those colors, and off the top of my head, the only jet so painted that flew in the war was a Secret Squirrel jet out of Barksdale (58-0185).

Jul 6, 2020 · I'm looking for the corrected modern nose with EVS for my modelcollect B-52G, I have the early nose, but I'm specifically looking for the later nose. I plan to build a SIOP bird with a full load of 4 B28, And ALCM, but right now I'm limited to Chrome Dome, and that's boring...

May 21, 2022 · Dutch, nice review of this kit. Will need to get one. I am currently building a G in the SIOP scheme cross kitting the Revell H and G kits, and back dating. Dutch would you know if any 3D printed X-15 launch pylon in 1/144 for my next B-52 project?

Jan 6, 2020 · Im looking for markings and airframe info regarding the none ALCM version of the B-52G assigned to the 69th BS, 42nd BW when they were carrying the AGM-84 Harpoon.

Apr 18, 2019 · CD144020 will be a 1/144 sheet with Strategic Air Command B-52G/H options, basically a scale-down version of upcoming CD72077.

Nov 23, 2006 · I was looking at my project photos of mid-life B-52Gs (circa early 1970s) in both SEA and SIOP camo. Here is a link to several lovely photos of B-52G 59-2592 of the 92nd BW of Fairchild AFB with the distinctive Lavender Panther nose art at the SAC Bomb Comp at McCoy AFB, FL in December 1971.
