The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie is the prototype of the B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command. Personal notes : This is the best replica I could do. Making the fuselage was a huge pain, took me about 2 hours or something. Making the wings took me another 2 hours. Stabilizing this thing also wasn't an easy job. Sadly, this plane won't go as fast as the real thing, the max speed is about 850 mph on 10000 ft. Much ...  slower than the real one which is able to reach Mach 3.1.   read more
