Italeri/AMT 1/72 YB-35

Latest effort. The Italeri boxing of the Northrop YB-35. I've previously built the YB-49 so I knew what to expect. Overall the kit is OK and the decals are excellent. Finished in Vallejo steel and gunmetal.

Beautiful job on that model! Looking at it, I just can't believe the USAF didn't go with it. It looks like a perfectly normal aeroplane to me. Not at all unusual...

Outperformed by B-47 due to its fat airfoil. Also had stability problems, making it an iffy bombing platform.

Those are amazing, and so beautifully painted. Fascinating looking aircraft, well ahead of their time. You just need a B-2 to go with them now, would be an interesting comparison.
