What the Academy 12632 1/144 B-52D Kit Offers

The B-52D Stratofortress is a well known long-range bomber and Academy's 12632 captures its recognisable form in 1/144 scale. The kit provides a satisfying build for hobbyists who like scale accuracy without taking up much display space.

Why Modellers Choose This B-52 Variant

As a workhorse of its era, the B-52D combined range and payload capacity, and that heritage is reflected in this kit's details. The Academy 12632 highlights features that help communicate the aircraft's role and period, making it a practical choice for model displays or mixed-scale collections.

Assembly Considerations and Finish Quality

Parts are produced in quality plastic allowing for precise assembly when trimmed and test-fitted. Glue and paint are required to complete the model, and with careful finishing the result presents well in a cabinet or on a shelf alongside other military models.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
No special equipment is required beyond standard modelling tools: sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine files and brushes will cover most tasks for this kit.
Decals are typically included in the kit; apply them over a gloss surface using decal solution for best adhesion and to minimise silvering at 1/144 scale.
Check the parts layout for gear and bay components; many builders choose to show landing gear down for display, but careful fit and alignment are essential at this scale.
