Aaaaaarghhhhh!! That means I need 11 more XB-70 kits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I've done an all black one - as an SR-70 of the 9TH SRW based at Beale. It looks mean as hell painted overall black!! I also drooped the outer wings by about 30 degrees. Made it look even more sinister!! I like the SEA Camouflage one. I'm considering an XB-70 carrying a GTD-21 drone. Camouflage would be nice. Overall white is just SOOOOOO dull! Black is a bit stark so, I misted on a coat of Midnight Blue ( thank you Halfords!! ;D). Took the edge off the black & looked pretty good. Gave the finish a slightly streaked, uneven, "used" look. 
Loves JMNs but could never eat a whole one!!

Would have made a great passenger airline.

There's a decal sheet for a 1/72 XB-70 done up in PanAm markings around somewhere, complete with enough cabin windows to seat maybe 20-30 pax. Looks great, but it's HUGE compared with a 1/144 scale  airliner collection.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well, if you believe the rumours there's a two stage spaceplane in service known as 'Blackstar'.  One idea is that it uses an XB-70 or a variant of it as the first stage.

There were plans drawn up to build a passenger version of the B-70, it would have involved stretching the spine to varying extents depending on the amount passengers required.  NA also did on a B-70 derived SST work that was much more optimised as an airliner, Sentinel Chicken did some artwork:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Spooky,
I must learn to keep my wishes under control as they might come true.
