Revell "Jet Commando" B-52 question

Quick question about this old timer-what scale is it, & what model of B-52 is it supposed to be?

"no, honey, of course that's not another new model. I've had that one for a long time..."

I've seen it listed as 1/175 - I'm not sure which variant it represents though.

Check these out:

I think it was a "B". That's an old kit that came out when the B-52 was pretty new.

Wow! I remember that one from my elementary school days. I don't remember if the X-15 was molded in black or if I had to paint it. I loved to play with it though. I had forgotten all about that kit.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

I don't remember the X-15 in the kit, just the basic B-52.

I do remember seeing a X-15 at the 1964 World's fair in N.Y.C.

They also had on display one of the Firebird turbine cars.
