Model Forum / General / Models / August 2005B-52D
As I have postponed my plans for a 1/72 B-52H I am now considering a D-model... by the way: did these aircraft have the standard SEA camo scheme when flying over Vietnam? (34102/079/30219 over black) or were it the SAC colors which FS-numbers now escape me. (like on the FB-111 I have) Ingo SAC Southeast Asia Colors for the B-52D were different from the TAC colors. Uppersurfaces were 34079 green, 34159 blue-green, and 34201 Tan. Undersurfaces were gloss black. The scheme was called the SIOP scheme.

SignatureNever underestimate the power of human stupidity. - Lazarus Long SIOP and Southeast Asia were different, even in SAC. SOUTH EAST ASIA (SEA) scheme, applied to B-52Ds and expoerimantaly to a couple of Gs, was the standard SAC greens (34079, 34159, 34201) over gloss BLACK FS17038. SIOP, as used on B-52Es, Fs, Gs, and Hs until the mid 1980s, was the SAC greens over gloss WHITE FS 17875.
