1 B-52H Stratofortress The last new B-52H was delivered in 9 but the B-52 continues to serve today and is likely to continue to do so for decades to come. The B-52 has evolved from a high altitude atom bomber as originally designed, to a high altitude bomb truck as deployed in Viet Nam to a modernized weapon system of today that can deliver tons of ordinance on target using smart bombs or un-guided dumb bombs. This Minicraft B-52H represents the B-52 early in it s career as a unit of the elite Strategic Air Command atom bomb armed sentinel of the cold war. Markings included in this kit are: USAF B-52H, 9 BW, Wurtsmith AFB, Cuban Missile Crisis, 92 USAF B-52H, 9 BW, Kincheloe AFB, early 90 s Minicraft Models (US) LLC, 50 Commerce Drive, Elgin IL 02 USA Printed in China 5

9 Your Minicraft model includes high-quality waterside decals. These decals adhere best to a glossy surface; and it is recommended that you apply a clear gloss coat over your painted model. Use a sharp scissors or knife to cut individual decals from the carrier sheet. Do not cut into the clear film surrounding the individual decals. * It is recommended that you apply one decal at a time. * Place the decal section in warm water, when first inserted in the water your decal will curl, after approximately ten seconds the decal will uncurl. Remove from water and lay on a paper towel. After approximately 0-20 seconds the decal will slide freely from the backing paper. Use a small brush to help slide the decal from the backing paper and into position on the model. Carefully blot excess water from the decal, using care not to move the decal or tear it. * If you choose to use a setting solution, apply a thin coat over the decal following the manufacturer s instruction. * Allow the decal to dry overnight. Wash any adhesive residue off the model with a small amount of clean water and dry thoroughly. * Apply clear gloss, matte or flat coat to seal decals following the instructions from the manufacturer.
