Thanks guys, though the real credit of course goes to the original artists whose work I've only stolen and recolored for almost 99% of the work in this thread. ;)

I think the concept of a North Point-operated B-52 is a bit ridiculous but I enjoy making paint schemes so whatever. Also, there are no nuclear weapons in SMSWorld due to RP game restrictions, so it's dubious if large long-range strategic bombers would even be developed to begin with... (along with cruise missiles, SSBNs, most of the space program, etc etc etc...)

Being one of the "original artists" for the B-52, I must say that especially the first camo looks really cool.

The first one is my take on the "European One" scheme used in the 1980s for the US Air Force. I guess North Point's forces deployed in Questers are all painted in that scheme. I couldn't find an official B-52H Euro-1 color scheme guide though so I just invented one. And of course the black undersides are not part of the Euro-1 scheme.

The second one is the usual navy blue maritime scheme with grey undersides and the third is a slightly modified version of the South East Asia USAF scheme with less black.

Still, recoloring of others' work or not, the camos work very well here. I would have seen the Euro-1 green slightly darker, but maybe that's just me, and it's not preventing me from picturing it barrelling along the Central European plains at tree-top height anyway :lol:
Without nukes, might as well make itself otherwise useful!

I actually went ahead and went with the Euro 1 scheme Caddaric created. I think it's more accurate.

Anyway, some C-130s:

I love the B-52s. Do you have any plans of fielding B-1A/B? I don't think anyone has drawn one yet, though.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."
