They used to fly over our house on a refueling track with a KC-135 nearly every day in the 1960s...….

Thanks :)) work with subject need really care, just have a look on this detail of auxiliary air intake, where was two small in early production and later modified into one big. To endure long service, machine was on constant maintenance and upgrades and to make precise sample, not only illustration but also kit, need deep focus and detail analyzes. And this is still G model, initiall configuration ;)

Yes, every airplane wrinkles just a little differently in that area. What most people who fly don't know is that some Boeing jetliners also have these wrinkles on them, just not as pronounced as the B-52. Our airplanes used to be in NMF and the wrinkles were easy to see after a fresh buffing job, especially behind the wing on the 757.

Good photo of the way the BUFF was built. I think that bunch of raised-head rivets is an area that was modified over the years and countersunk rivets eliminated to strengthen the structure. The B-52 has always been worked hard and structure suffered when they were used at low-level.
