Description
Huge thanks to @kingcorn for helping with the first version of this!
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, heavy bomber primarily serving as the United States Air Force's strategic platform for both nuclear and conventional weapons. Due to constant retrofitting, the B-52 boasts exceptional longevity, with the most recent upgrades projecting its service life to extend well into the 2050s, nearly a century after its first flight. This aircraft has a wingspan of 185 feet (this model's is 392mm), is powered by eight turbofan engines, and has a capacity of ~70,000lb of mixed ordnance over an unrefueled range in excess of 8,800 miles.
This model was broken up into pieces to fit the 256x256x256mm build volumes of most Bambu printers (aside from A1M and H2)
For this model, there are fitted connectors, but they leave semi-large gaps between the pieces, so if you have superglue, that should be used instead. Also, don't use the connectors if you are planning to use glue, because they hinder the drying process of glue. Also, DO NOT try to disassemble the model if the connectors were already used - they are very tight and WILL break the model if removed.
