I noticed the B-52 was missing in your library. So while my work is not 100% Shipbucket, allow me to share a few views of what I am working on. Like the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, hopefully our dear Eswube should take over at some stage and revise these drawings (ie: the profiles) in order to make them elligible for an upload :
RB52B Profile : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... s_B52B.gif
RB52B Front : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... t_B52B.gif
Tail height check : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... .Check.gif
Tail Variants : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... riants.gif
Nose variants (early) : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... riants.gif
Bombloads studies (some repetitive work)

RB52B : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... _RB52B.gif
B52C : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... s_B52C.gif
B52D : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... s_B52D.gif
B52G : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... s_B52G.gif
B52H : http://atlantic-air-combat.com/Aircraft ... s_B52H.gif

Missing data as shown in the tail height study : fuselage height, fuselage/ground clearance and tyre diameter... Greetings from Brussels to you all

@Heuhen
I believe that the reason why PierreDeveaux posted it here is that these drawings are FD scale but not quite FD style.

What? No XB-52 with the bubble canopy?

I jest. Excellent work Pierre.

Super "BUFF"s. As as kid I lived near a SAC base and when they had an alert it had the force of nature. How about one with the day-glow orange SAC paint scheme from the halcyon days of Curtis LeMay.

At the general request of our honorable TimothyC, "cockpit variants" has been updated :

Not in my initial plans (whatever they are...), but true, it was missing. To say I am fully satisfied with this particular part would be a lie, but ... well... I shall rest my case at this moment :-)
Thanks for your kind words
Pierre

I think these are great - very informative, and honestly I wouldn't hesitate to upload these to the Shipbucket website. As long as a "traditional" variant is also created I see no harm in doing so at all.
