Wingspan: 13.50"
Model length: 11.75"
Code: PW07043
The B-52H had the same crew and structural changes as the B-52G. The most significant upgrade was the switch to TF33-P-3 turbofan engines which, despite the initial reliability problems (corrected by 1964 under the Hot Fan program), offered considerably better performance and fuel economy than the J57 turbojets. The ECM and avionics were updated, a new fire control system was fitted, and the rear defensive armament was changed from machine guns to a 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon. A provision was made for four AGM-48 Skybolt ballistic missiles. First flight 10 July 1960, entered service 9 May 1961. This is the only variant still operational.
Armament
* Guns: 1× 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon in a remote controlled tail turret
* Bombs: up to 60,000 lb (27,200 kg) bombs, missiles, and mines, in various configurations
The B-52H Stratofortress "Bomber Barons" model plane is brought to life through this meticulously hand-carved mahogany wood done by highly experienced craftsmen. Scaled from an exact blueprint, this piece of art was lavished and hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy. A wood base enhanced by a metal history plate comes with this desktop model plane.
