XB70

XB70 Valkyrie. Still the largest aircraft to exceed mach 3 in level flight. Originally intended to replace the B52, the B70 was made obsolete by advances in Soviet SAMS. Only two prototypes were built. The second was lost after a mid-air collision with an F104 during a photoshoot. The first is at the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH.

This is the Italeri reissue of the airfix 1:72 scale XB70. The kit includes markings for both aircraft, but the second had significant dehidral on the wings so really can't be built using this kit.
