I would just like to make a comment to anyone and everyone...If you are in the market for anything related to modeling....go no further...I only buy from Andys Hobby Hq..I will yell you why... Besides having anything and everything you may want.. The customer service is absolutely amazing..... I encountered a problem with a multi box order...I made simple contact through email...and with no questions asked...they re-shipped the item....very fast amazing quality and just great... And the fact that you can watch the build videos to guide or inspire you in you're hobby is again amazing. Thanks Andy! Keep it up! Joshua
Way back in the before time I built the Monogram B-52 in 1/72. That thing was huge! The only place I could put it was on top of a storage cabinet where I couldn't really se it lol.
looks like a nice and simple kit. Minot - why not MInot, freezin the reason. what is amazing is B52s are twice and then some as old as the aircrew flying them.
This will go great with the B-1B Academy released a couple of years back (great kit, great fit). Even though GWH did one recently, I’ve been holding out for Academy’s.
Dear Andy, My grandfather threw a set of B-52 landing gear out of the centripital force machine at Wright-Pat during the 1950's, when he led that part of the componets testing unit. I joke with the guys from Sheppard AFB. they think I'm a liar. His boss was Le May. My grandmother used to have Air Force and B-29 Technical Manuals.
I had, a while ago, a Monogram 1/72 B-52. it was bigger than my 1/48 B-24 and C-47. Had absolutely no place to put it, so this looks like a great option! Thank you for sharing it.
G.W.H. Has a new one, just built it. Great kit. I just also finished the Academy 1/144 B-1B, also a good kit. I wish they'd come out with a 1/144 B-2A Spirit.
Ah the 20th. I remember when we stood that squadron up at Barksdale. The Chief saw the new squadron patch. I can't repeat what he called it. Kit looks good, though.
I worked B-52F/G/H s when I was in USAF .. Spent 7 yrs at Barksdale and loved it... I will definitely be ordering this kit .. Hope you'll let us know when it is available! Great video!! Perfect way to start the week
I have became a big fan of Academy in past few years. Their recent kits are of great quality, with a perfect fit, very well thought assembly, not overly complicated, but still complex enough to make a great build and with PE (not in this super small scale) and masks included. And as a bonus colorful paint guide references both Tamiya and Gunze paint ranges. And all of that for about half of price of similar Tamiya kit where I have to buy PE and mask separately for quite a lot of extra money and will get black and white only paint guide with paints referenced as 50 % XF-xx + 30 % XF-yy + 20 % XF-zz, which I personally hate, because I'm not a big expert on mixing paints especially from three or more paints at once.
The real Airplane came to the Abbotsford B. C. Airshow in Vancouver, I actually saw and heard this airplane, in green fly over the Pay-less gas station , scary & loud!
Nice to see they moulded the canopy with roof, rather than separate glazing panels in the roof. Only kit released of late with what look like correct wheel bays. Bomb bay doors are straight on their back edge, should be curved, but this is true for all the kits out there except HpH. Wing root looks really nice. Wing tanks look awful, they appear to be tapered? Love the way they did the pylon to wing joint. Also nice to see we have separtae flaps, but do we have any tracks to hang them on? Bomb bay detail looks nice as does the antenna load out. I reviewed the GWH a while back.. mmmmmmmmmm hard to say which is better????
Been re-watching one of your old videos about building the 1/350 Ranger. I'd love to get that kit, but I don't have an airbrush. I'd have to paint it with just a regular brush.
Looks like a nice kit. I have the old Revel 1/144 B-52, and it really is a pretty large plane. Academy will probably release the missile armed versions next. I just wonder if the decals are usual Academy (👎) or if they had Cartograph (👍) make them?
Andy, I just looked at your website and saw the kit and ordered it immediately! Can you tell me what Tamiya paint I will need for the A/C? I have been doing Navy and Army stuff so I have loads of paints, just don't have USAF colors. Thanks.
Getting ready to build my 1/350 Massachusetts (like all of my model ship collection, it's actually my second build of that kit. I'm doing the correct colors, because I'm that much of a perfectionist).
Andy, I recently sent you an email (lengthy) and haven't heard back yet but that's okay. I am in my mid-seventies and have just started back to modelling (forty years ago). I have spent a lot of time on TH-cam and decided that you have the best channel so I subscribed and joined. I'm going to wait for this Academy B-52 for now but will be getting some other stuff to work on my skills with. I did notice that when you refer to decals you call them "deecals" rather than what seems to be common now as "deckals". Small item but it makes a difference to me. I started by buying my models through Amazon because they were fast and shipping was cheap. In the future, I will be getting my materials and models from you. Since I live in Tucson the shipping shouldn't be much of a problem. Looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership. Can you let me know when the B-52 comes in? Thanks a bunch. BTW, I spent thirty years on active duty, ten in the Navy (P3 Orions and H3 Sea Kings) then I went on to spend another twenty in the Army, mostly electronic warfare in SF Intell. I live about two miles from the "bone yard" so if you need any pictures let me know.
So many awesome kits coming out! Cannot wait to build some of these. Currently building a Tamiya Abrams. Andy, do you know if any WWI era tanks will be coming out in the foreseeable future?
Do you know if and more firetrucks or frist responder stuff will be coming out I really love build those? And if you can talk to the guys that make or design them If they can make some new stuff and maybe make some wildland firefighter stuff and/ or make so diaroma stuff for like wrecks or tools or fires stuff like that they make alot of money do stuff like that trust me
It would be nice if you make some series of videos about how to use products which you are selling in your shop. I think many of us would be glad for it.
And another boring grey late "H" model..like there wasn't one from Crown (repacked by Academy at some point, currently repacked by Minicraft), one from Revell (doesn't seem to be worse than this one) and one from GWH (looks better than this one). Sad thing is that in this scale the only high tail models are by Minicraft derived from the good old Crown kit... Somebody please make NB-52 with X-15 in 144... Oh well, man can dream.

Would like to see academy do a 1/144 B-36 peace maker, i think that would be a huge seller
Roden recently released a B-36B in 1/144
Wow...how much bigger was the B36 from the B52?

I got myself the B52G by Italeri in 72nd scale as a Christmas gift, its absolutely massive. Fuselage is more than 26" long!
@@CrazyKitBuilder so?
Great looking kit. Academy has really stepped up its game and is quietly one of the best companies out there. I’m getting this one for sure.

I'm excited to start this kit. There is a Czech company that makes a 1/48 scale version of this bird. It goes for about $700 USD.
Just built one of these and it goes together really well.
G.W.H. Has a new one, just built it. Great kit. I just also finished the Academy 1/144 B-1B, also a good kit. I wish they'd come out with a 1/144 B-2A Spirit.
Revell did have one don't know if it's around
Great Wall Hobby make a very nice 1/144 B-52H. Released last year.
I agree with what you're saying about 1/144 and large airplanes. Thanks for the look at this B-52. Looks like the kit to get.
Very detailed good piece of hobby kits !
The close ups on your last few videos are outstanding.
nice one, finally 1/144 for B52 thanks 😊
Andy,
There is actually a 1/48 scale resin casting B 52 made by HpH, a Czechoslovakian company.
Just built their B1B and it turned out 👌
Ho whaouw... another video from AHHQ !!! As always you make my day. Thank you so much Andy
This looks like a great kit for a weekend build

Academy modles
You are definitely spoiling us another video fantastic Andy Steve 🇬🇧
Great review! I'll have to pick this up when it comes out! Love me some BUFF! I also love that they include the cockpit window cutouts!
I live by Barksdale, the B-52s are massive and real loud
The real Airplane came to the Abbotsford B. C. Airshow in Vancouver,
I actually saw and heard this airplane, in green fly over the Pay-less gas station , scary & loud!
Right on Andy
Keep those video previews coming !!!!
So cool thank you!!!

I reviewed the GWH a while back.. mmmmmmmmmm hard to say which is better????
Andy, Minicraft is still making B-52's in 1/144 scale, for 1/72 Modelcollect is still making the B-52G & H's and both early and late versions.
Curious how the GWH 1/144 compares to the academy version.
I'll have to dig out the older academy B-52 I have and compare the two. This one looks great
Now all academy need to release is a 1:144 B-2 Spirit
That's a beast of a kit, hopefully get my mits on one soon👌
Chinese company "Modelcollect" has about 4 or 5 kits of various B-52 in 1/72.
Looks great that is a must have for me thanks for sharing Andy
She’s a must. Looks great.
7:20 did you noticed the "right" and "laft" wing on the instructions?
Good kit. Great review. I'll be at your store this weekend lol
Nice. Have you made a video about painting a Vellajo metal finish AC yet?
Andy. Great video. But your right we can’t see the cur outs on the tape! All good buddy. 🇨🇦
We need it in 48-th!
Sweet model Andy will you do a full video on it?
Hope he does!
Great to see the Buff in a manageable scale. Looks like a nice kit. Do you have an idea of what the MSRP is for it? Thanks for the video, Andy!
About $50
Andy , You're the BEST kit salesman on the planet ! However 1/144 "?" I can barely handle 1/72. :-( THUMBS - UP !
I wonder if HK Models will put out a 1/32 B52? You could always build it in an aircraft hangar!
The box will have to come on a pallet. XD
@@farkinarkin5099 Yes! And bring it in on a forklift!
Been re-watching one of your old videos about building the 1/350 Ranger. I'd love to get that kit, but I don't have an airbrush. I'd have to paint it with just a regular brush.
Looking forward to the build on this one. Kit looks good quality and relatively simple to construct.
I will be ordering this!
Looks fantastic, just don't like the idea of doing landing gear first and hoping not to break them off during the rest of construction and painting.

I think I'll be grabbing one, Minicraft seem to be the only other 1/144 BUFFs. I wonder if the B-2 Spirit will be next?
@Andy's Hobby Headquarters You should do small kit giveaways in some of the videos
That looks like a good kit I have the Modelcollect 1:72 and it barely fits on the shelf...
You should try the 1/48th scale version
I thought I saw 1 in green camo paint job years back or have I mistaken it for another bomber?
So many awesome kits coming out! Cannot wait to build some of these. Currently building a Tamiya Abrams. Andy, do you know if any WWI era tanks will be coming out in the foreseeable future?
Andy please make a video and build it
Andy, ModelCollect, has B-52'', and B2 bomber kits!
Yes I completely forgot about this one, its been tought to get lately, Thanks
I had hopes for this kit right up I til they molded separate flaps with NO detail inside them or the wings.
I built the Monogram 1/72nd scale B-52 recently and I have no idea where to put the thing... It dwarfs the largest 1/48th scale bomber I have...
Their B36 had a wingspan of about 36"
Do you know if and more firetrucks or frist responder stuff will be coming out I really love build those? And if you can talk to the guys that make or design them If they can make some new stuff and maybe make some wildland firefighter stuff and/ or make so diaroma stuff for like wrecks or tools or fires stuff like that they make alot of money do stuff like that trust me
Are the wings done in flight or on the ground. Their B-47 had the wings in flight, if I remember.
F-4GWW: That's an important point and should be addressed on the kit box and instructions. Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).
Could have done a better job on the panel lines. Other than that it would be a nice kit.
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm thinking you'd better order plenty. :)
I'd like to see this in 1/48th scale...
This kit looks good, just got my GWH B-52 . These would look great next to each other.
oooooo masking tape diorama!!! origami? Lol cheers
Are any shipments to you currently in the Suez Canal?
Hmm H variant, could it masquerade as the D version, during Vietnam?
Better than GWH.
Will you be doing a build video of this? I hope so :)
Can they make a c130
One cannot have too many 1:144 or 1:72 Buffs. :-))
It would be nice if you make some series of videos about how to use products which you are selling in your shop. I think many of us would be glad for it.

Nuclear combat... toe to toe with the Ruskies.....

Great Wall Hobby's 1/144 B-52H looks better
Can't help but think the surface detail is a bit overdone for 144th scale.
