This is my version of the Martin XB-48, a prototype bomber that the US built in 1947, also I had very little to go on besides the Wikipedia pictures so sorry if it's very off scale...and yes I know "but Supercraft! Supercraft! There at no bombs on this plane! How can it be a bomber?" I'll be releasing the armed version soon.

Also new note all my Cold War planes will have Cold War in front of there names to separate them from all other planes, like so!
"Cold War-(name of plane here)"

---From Wikipedia---
The Martin XB-48 was a medium jet bomber developed in the mid-1940s. It competed with the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, which proved to be a superior design, and was largely considered as a backup plan in case the B-47 ran into development problems. It never saw production or active duty, and only two prototypes, serial numbers 45-59585 and 45-59586,[2] were built.
