- These are all 1/72 scale models of the three currently in service US Air Force Heavy Bombers.
The B-52H which the USAF maintains 78 of. The last manufactured in the early 1960s, they have been regularly and completely maintained and updated with all the latest electronics and weapons types. Including adding the same Common Rotary Launcher (CRL) used on the B-1B and the B-2. They are subsonic, but have great range, can fly nap of the earth, and can carry up to 73,000 lbs of ordinance of all types. When necessary they can carry up to 20 Air Launched Cruise Missiles or other (long range precision ordinance, including Harpoon Missiles, JASSM-ERs, and will also include the Long Range Anti-Surface Missile ( LRASM))
The supersonic B-1B, which can carry up to 78,0000 lbs of ordinance when including its wing pylons and can also carry up to 20 ALCMs and all sorts of precision guided weaponry. They are moderately stealthy, have heavy electronics counter measures, and are designed to penetrate moderate defense guarded sites.
The B-2 Spirit is America's 5th generation, full stealth bomber. It is subsonic but designed to penetrate even heavily defended sites using its advanced passive and active stealth to do so. It has two large bomb bays each with one CRL within and can carry the large loads of all types of US weaponry, including nuclear, completely contained such that its stealth is not compromised.
Enjoy, and feel free t share this video with others.
I love bombers. I'm so exciting when B-21 Raider will be come .
I wish we had about 100 B-70s. At Mach 3.2 and 100,000 feet, they would be very capable even today. Here's a link to my 1/72 scale video of that model: th-cam.com/video/EZFByXhfozM/w-d-xo.html
yes is cool and your a H-6K too.
Yes, I have many 1/72 scale models from several nations, particularly the US, but also China, Russia, the UK, France, etc.
@@JeffHead-IdahoUSA The XB70 Valkyrie would make the current Russian TU60 "Blackjack" look dated, it would outperform a TU60 in every dimension with perhaps the exception of low level strike :)
The missiles on the b-52 are not tomahawks they are agm-86 cruise missiles that weigh 2,500 pounds and travel at a speed of 600 mph and have a range of 1500 miles and can be launched from the b-52 outside of anti aircraft range and each missile can carry a 3.8 megaton nuclear warhead enough firepower to wipe out all buildings and life on the island of Manhattan
Couldn't agree with you more about keeping B-1b's I personally like the idea of converting 20 to 40 to Air to Air missile trucks carrying 80+ AMRAM or European Meteor missiles
Love your passion towards models! Keep doing what you love!
imagine this models in 1/48 :D
Revell has B1B and HpH has B52H both in 1/48 scale except B-2 hadn't
B52 should too big in 1/48 ( about 5 feet )
Superbe bombers !! Of course my favorite is the legendary B52
Beautiful work sir!
I have all 3 in 1/350 scale to go with all my other aircraft and ships
I'm interested in those, where did you get them from?
WOW ! B-2 is King of Bombers
I have 2 1/48 scale B-1B Bombers and found a 1/48 scale B-52H from HPH Models. But I love those 1/72 scale, easier to display. Are those the Modelcollect kits?
im still trying to find a b-2 and b1b 72 kit :(
Love your Bombers, what colors did you use on the B-2?

The B52 is a cheap cruise missile truck for low threat theatres. The B2 is for high threat theatres. What's the B1B's niche at this point?
Witht he types f ALCMs the B-52 can carry, they are oing to be effective in any theater, same with the B-1B and the B-2. Clearly the B-2 is also capable of penetration of high threat areas and would still be the US functional nculear triad. With its speed and low level penetration capabilitly, the B-1B could also be used in that role. All of them can also carry anti-shipping weapons and could be used at any time in that role receiving targeting from satelites, from P-8A and MQ4C communications, of E-2D or other recn capailities. So, all three have multiple uses. 20 ALCMs make te B-52 a significant threat in any theater to this day.
@@JeffHead-IdahoUSA I read that the B2's serrated trailing edge is designed for low level aerodynamics and penetration ability. The USAF didn't want to go with a pure stealth flying wing design in case stealth was ever compromised. The B1B could still suit that application..
Awesome 👍
I loved the video!
From which manufacturer are these planes i mean like italeri or revell?
B-1 is revell I think, B-52 is either revell or italeri and I don’t know about the B-2
Link please, I want that three bombers
I believe the plan is to replace B-2's first then B-52's/B-1b's the b-2's are too costly to operate... because there are only 20 of them so most of there parts are quite limited
Where Can i find this scale model ?
Actually the b52 is expected to serve till sometime in the 2050s and the b1s will be retired by 2036 the b2 will be the first to go
Fantastik!!! 😍
Where can I buy this
They expect the B-52 H to go on up to 2030. Original pilot's grand kids will be flying them.
Jim Schrom that is not true the United States airforce is expected to have them in inventory until the 2040’s
Where Can i find this scale model please
blai z you can find them in ur local hobby shop or buy them online
EBAY,Free Hobbies, Lucky Models, Squadron, and many other online stores.
WOW !!!!!
Very nice work and we ca tell you are proud of them. Who produced these kits? I was looking for specifics on the one made by ModelCollect company. It's a new line.
I built the Testor's B-2 and B-52 (though several companies make them in 1/72 scale) and the Monogram B-1B (and several companies make that one too). Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to look at them.
The B-1B is made by Monogram, The B-2 is made by Testors, and the B-52 is also made by Monogram. Each of these kits are also made by other companies as well.
Jeff Head what companies
Showwwww............
