Big Ugly Fat Fellow
LONG LIVE “BUFF”
1/144 USAF B-52H
20th BS “Buccaneers”
(12622)
Affectionately referred to as “Buff” (Big Ugly Fat Fellow) the B-52, was introduced in the
50’s, and might be the first aircraft to stay in service for nearly a century. Today’s B-52H
models, delivered in the 1960’s, are expected to operate, with upgrades, through 2050.
A long-range bomber, the B-52H can fly at altitudes of 50,000 ft, has a range of 8800
miles without refueling and can carry nuclear or precision-guided, conventional
weapons. Its 159 ft. length and 185 ft. wingspan create an imposing silhouette.
Academy ‘s Passion for Precision captures the impressive contours,
and the striking details of the B-52H (12622).

EDITOR’S PAGE
By Aaron Skinner
FSM
is more than paper
For readers who like to have a copy
of
FineScale Modeler
wherever they
are, we’ve got great news. Starting
with the April 2020 issue, the digital
edition of your favorite modeling
magazine is now included with your
print subscription. This gives you
access to all of the magazine’s how-to
stories, reviews, and more, on any
computer, tablet, or phone.
So if you want to check the com-
ments from one of our
reviewers while you are at
the hobby shop, the review
is always at your fingertips.
Or maybe you can’t
remember the kit or after-
market set you needed to
re-create an author’s proj-
ect, but you left the maga-
zine at home when you left
that morning — who are
we to judge if you are
shopping for models and
browsing
FSM
at work —
the information is right
there in your Zinio
account.
If you do not already
have an account with
Zinio, go to Zinio.com
and create an account now. When
each issue becomes available, you will
receive an email from Zinio provid-
ing a link to your Zinio library to
view the digital issue.
But there’s so much more to our
digital side than a virtual copy of the
paper edition. We are working hard
to bring you the kind of modeling
information you expect from the
magazine at FineScale.com.
Some of those initiatives have
already blossomed with master mod-
eler Kenneth Childres’ “Skill
Building” videos and the always fun
“Building Models with ShuShu”
series. Plus, we now feature more
Workbench Reviews than ever before
— too many to fit in the magazine.
These exclusive kit builds get more
room to breathe online with added
comments from the reviewers, and all
include photos you won’t
see anywhere else. Some
feature in-progress photos
that point out problems
and solutions and offer fin-
ishing ideas. And always
remember, subscribers get
access to more than 1,900
reviews on the website.
Every now and then an
author gives us more infor-
mation than we can
include with a how-to
story. Rather than relegate
good modeling info to the
editing room floor, we are
now putting those images
and text into PDFs for sub-
scribers to download and
keep with the magazine.
This is just the beginning of our
push to enhance and expand what
FSM
has to offer. Look for more
exciting videos as Tim and I, and
maybe even Elizabeth, build models
from first details to final weathering,
and demonstrate techniques you can
use on your projects.
I’m excited about the possibilities,
and I hope you are, too!
