Looks are not everything, I found it a bit disturbing that CS stated on the release that the flight deck/cockpit was to emulate the "G" model and not of the "H" model. For those that have either worked on and or flown the B-52 right off hand, there is a significant difference between both models. The most obvious difference is the engine configuration, PW J57-43W's on the "G" model which are Turbo jets and the PW TF-33's on the H models. The latter of the two being a low-mediumn bypass turbofan. Flight dynamics of the model its self are way off but the thing looks good. No doubt about that. Tail gunners position is a waste for obvious reasons for those that know the BUFF but and the lack of the drag chute in its self was disappointing. I hope that CS technical expertise is taking another look at this because there are allot of us out there that that spent a few years or so up close and personal with the BUFF and would really be disappointed if it was miss represented so drastically. My opinion do it right or don't do it at all.

Please forgive what might be a d---a-- question, but what are the specific differences between the two cockpits, and what are the "obvious" reasons why you would put a G model 'pit in an H model exterior?
