In a word: FINALLY!!!! There you have it, this crazy project of creating the XB-70 “Valkyrie” in its landing configuration after its flight No. 3 and its accidentally particular livery has come to an end, after almost 500 hours of work. To summarize, this is the 1/72 Italeri kit, enhanced with PE packs from Armory Models and Brengun and lots of scratches...
But enough of the blabla, let's move on to the photos, which were not an easy task to take, given the size of the thing

The peeling paint has obscured the camera ports!  Stick out tongue

Does the model repesent the XB-70 after a high speed run, where a lot of the white paint flaked off due to the intense heat?

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yeah, the photos aren't showing up.  I'm quite interested in this subject, as I have one of these in my stash.  

 

Thanks for posting the makers of the PE/resin, though, I've placed a couple of orders.  :-)
