Italeri 1:72 B-52G Stratofortress

The display model is a replica of the B-52G Stratofortress. The B-52 Stratofortress is the most famous strategic long-range bomber in aviation history. It has been manufactured by the American company Boeing since 1955 and has long been a symbol of the Cold War. For many years, it has been the backbone of the US Air Force's Strategic Air Command. The B-52 has been produced in a considerable number of versions, which have gradually evolved the successful project to better respond to changing operational requirements. It has been characterised by a variety of modifications, including a stronger structure, the introduction of new avionics systems, and, an important aspect for a strategic bomber, an increased range thanks to enhanced fuel capacity and the ability to carry external fuel tanks. The B-52G also participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
