Italeri 1451 - 1/72 B-52G Stratofortress: Scale and History

The B-52G played a major role in strategic operations, and the Italeri 1451 kit brings that lineage into a manageable 1/72 scale model. This release is aimed at hobbyists who value period accuracy and authentic loads.

Representation of Armament and Role

The model includes the North American AGM-28 Hound Dog missiles, a signature item for the B-52G during its peak service years. These parts help convey the aircraft's strategic strike role when displayed with the missiles fitted.

Build Characteristics and Finishing Notes

Assembly of the Italeri 1451 requires patience with small components and seam work to achieve a display-worthy result. Painting and weathering will enhance panel definition and the overall Cold War aesthetic.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Includes: AGM-28 Hound Dog missiles
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for realism

Is the landing gear robust enough for display poses?

The landing gear parts are fine-scale and fit for display, but careful trimming and alignment are needed. Reinforce joints with a little extra glue during assembly for stability.

Can I add aftermarket detail sets to Italeri 1451?

Yes, modellers commonly use resin or photoetched upgrades for wheel wells and cockpit enhancements. Check compatibility with 1/72 B-52G conversions before purchasing.

What surface prep is needed before painting?

Wash parts to remove mold release, sand seam lines lightly, and apply a primer coat to reveal imperfections prior to full paint and weathering.

Are the missile mounts separate parts or fixed?

The AGM-28 Hound Dog components are supplied as separate parts to allow positioning. This gives flexibility for open or stowed display configurations.
