These are all 1/72 scale models of the three currently in service US Air Force Heavy Bombers.

The B-52H which the USAF maintains 78 of. The last manufactured in the early 1960s, they have been regularly and completely maintained and updated with all the latest electronics and weapons types. Including adding the same Common Rotary Launcher (CRL) used on the B-1B and the B-2. They are subsonic, but have great range, can fly nap of the earth, and can carry up to 73,000 lbs of ordinance of all types. When necessary they can carry up to 20 Air Launched Cruise Missiles or other (long range precision ordinance, including Harpoon Missiles, JASSM-ERs, and will also include the Long Range Anti-Surface Missile ( LRASM))

The supersonic B-1B, which can carry up to 78,0000 lbs of ordinance when including its wing pylons and can also carry up to 20 ALCMs and all sorts of precision guided weaponry. They are moderately stealthy, have heavy electronics counter measures, and are designed to penetrate moderate defense guarded sites.

The B-2 Spirit is America's 5th generation, full stealth bomber. It is subsonic but designed to penetrate even heavily defended sites using its advanced passive and active stealth to do so. It has two large bomb bays each with one CRL within and can carry the large loads of all types of US weaponry, including nuclear, completely contained such that its stealth is not compromised.
