I'd guess $20,000 or up! You definitely need deep pockets :-)
A model turbine engine can go anywhere from $1500 upward!
The B-52 had 8! To that add electronics and servo's.
The fuselage is probably the cheapest part :-)
The video mentioned that they had 8 Wren turbines. Here's their site:

If you click on their News Archive for 2004 they do discuss the B52
and have a nice pix of it flying:

If that's the one that crashed, I don't know. Nice model though.
(I'm also intrigued by the turbine locomotive :-) )
