michelle Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 this is the Atlantis model kits b-52 kit that also comes with a optional x-15 and optional fuel refill wingtip tanks for mid air refueling of fighter planes I painted the plane flat dark Grey to make it look like a current b-52
SfanGoch Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 Those are auxiliary fuel tanks. The B-52 is a strategic bomber and does not possess aqny capability to refuel other aircraft. That's what a KC-135 Stratotanker was designed for.
