Description
Hello again everyone, I'm back again this time bringing you the XB-70 supersonic bomber!
The XB-70 "Valkyrie" was a prototype supersonic aircraft for the planned B-70 bomber. Powered by 6 engines, this incredible aircraft was capable of reaching speeds over mach 3. Created by North American Aviation, this plane never saw full production, as the invention of ground to air missiles and ICBM's rendered it nearly useless. Only 2 prototypes were built, with one colliding with another plane during a close formation flight. The remaining prototype is on display at the Nation Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton Ohio.
I do recommend gluing this model together, as the tabs that hold the sides of the engine intakes in place sometimes like to pop out on their own due to the tension of bending them into place. I have included both versions with and without a loop, if you wish to hang the plane, as well as a modified version of the SR-71's stand.
If you need help assembling the plane, please see the pictures I've uploaded, as I've tried to include a series of pictures to help with that. If you do still have questions, please feel free to ask!
Hope you all enjoy, and happy printing!
