B-52 in FD scale

[PierreDeveaux]

I noticed the B-52 was missing in your library. So while my work is not 100% Shipbucket, allow me to share a few views of what I am working on. Like the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, hopefully our dear Eswube should take over at some stage and revise these drawings (ie: the profiles) in order to make them elligible for an upload :

Missing data as shown in the tail height study : fuselage height, fuselage/ground clearance and tyre diameter... Greetings from Brussels to you all

@Heuhen
I believe that the reason why PierreDeveaux posted it here is that these drawings are FD scale but not quite FD style.

I do confirm...

What? No XB-52 with the bubble canopy?

I jest. Excellent work Pierre.

Be patient, Timothy, be patient...

Super "BUFF"s. As as kid I lived near a SAC base and when they had an alert it had the force of nature. How about one with the day-glow orange SAC paint scheme from the halcyon days of Curtis LeMay.

At the general request of our honorable TimothyC, "cockpit variants" has been updated :

Not in my initial plans (whatever they are...), but true, it was missing. To say I am fully satisfied with this particular part would be a lie, but ... well... I shall rest my case at this moment
Thanks for your kind words
Pierre

Hopefully, the purists shall forgive

I think these are great - very informative, and honestly I wouldn't hesitate to upload these to the Shipbucket website. As long as a "traditional" variant is also created I see no harm in doing so at all.
