Description
B-52s No. 1.. LESS THAN 14 SETS LEFT! This extremely rare set features FIVE BUFFs: B-52G-95-BW, 58-0183, “Valkyrie” of the 93 BW, one of the SECRET SQUIRREL aircraft that flew the very first bombing mission on the first night of the first Gulf War, now on display at the Pima Air Museum. Next is B-52D-35-BW, 56-0672, with Snoopy cartoon artwork “Night Missions Blogh!!” of the 99 BW, Andersen AFB, Guam, 1968. Another Vietnam combat jet is B-52D-35-BW, 56-0677, with a large sharkmouth, from the 43 SW, Andersen AFB, Guam (this is a different jet – and different artwork – from the Monogram/Revell kit), 1968. Next comes B-52H-160-BW, “Mud BUFF” of the 2 BW/96 BS, Barksdale AFB, May 1995. And sporting the red “Barksdale” fin stripe. The final subject is yet another Vietnam vet, B-52D-60-BO, 55-0103, with another nearly unknown Snoopy cartoon character, “Happiness Is Home,” again from the 99 BW, Andersen AFB, Guam, 1968. Since nose art was extremely rare on Vietnam War BUFFs, these three B-52Ds will make remarkable additions to your collection!
