The B-52H Stratofortress has been the backbone of American strategic airpower since the 1950s — and it's still flying, with service expected to continue into the 2050s. Academy's all-new-tooling 1/144 kit captures the massive eight-engine bomber in impressive detail, with functional landing gear and bomb bay doors, a full weapons loadout, and Cartograf decals for three distinct 2018 Nellis and Minot AFB markings.
