01 Boeing B-52C Stratofortress
Here is my interpretation of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber. The BUFF is built to minifig scale and has many articulating features and configurations. As always, leave a comment if you wish.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber flown by the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed and built in the 1950s, the B-52 is still in service today albeit in modified form. The B-52 is expected to continue to serve the USAF into the 2050s.
The Stratofortress was designed to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions but also delivered conventional munitions in operations in Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, and Afghanistan.
744 Stratofortresses (742 production aircraft and 2 prototypes) were built and flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) beginning in 1955, the Air Combat Command (ACC) after 1992, and in 2010 with the newly created Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). As of 2015, 58 B-52Hs are in active service with 18 held in reserve. Production began in 1954 and ended in 1962 with eight models being produced.
