Description
SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 3 VERSIONS – COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET
The B-52 Stratofortress is the most famous long-range jet-powered strategic bomber in aviation history. First produced by the American company Boeing in 1955, it has become symbolic of the ‘Cold War’ period between the U.S.A and the former Soviet Union. It was for many years the backbone of the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command. The aircraft was also manufactured in a number of different versions over the years to meet ever changing operational requirements. The B-52H is the most updated version of the famous American bomber and is characterized by the addition of improved engines offering considerably better performance, fuel economy and increased operational range. Other improvements have been made to the avionics, electronic counter measures (ECM) and weapons systems. The B-52 is currently one of the most enduring aircraft in aviation history.

Italeri

Italeri was founded in the early 60's, with that enthusiasm that only the unbridled passion of youth can create. Since they were boys, the two founders of Italeri, Giuliano Malservisi and  Gian Pietro Parmeggiani loved airplanes and military vehicles. Soon they were no longer satisfied with the models available at the time: they wanted something more and better. What they wanted was not available, so they decided to produce it themselves. Their hobby turned into an accurate research, and became the motivating force to produce the models that modelers want, with no imperfections whatsoever. Thus the company asserted itself, always increasing his range of products and growing. Also thanks to the imagination and the talent of the founders and of their colleagues, Italeri in time became a leader in modelling, finding its place on the international market. The first scale model launched on the market was the 1:72 scale Italian fighter Fiat G-55 with the brand “Airplast”. After that the company brand changed in Italeri and the new logo, characterised by red and green stripes remembering the Italian national flag (to identify the “Made in Italy” of Italeri production), was born. During its long activity the company bought the “Supermodel”, “Protar” and “ESCI” moulds to further improve its wide scale model catalogue.
