B-70 Valkyrie

Worth persevering with Devilfish, love the look.

Yes, that is BIG!  

It's also superbly built and well finished.  

I like the contrast between the dull black finish and the silver tyres and landing gear, nice job.

Building a Valkyrie is like childbirth.  When doing it, you say you'll never do it again, no matter what.

After about a year, you are thinking of building another one.....

....luckily though, I have so far restrained myself!

And much like the Sukhoi T-4 it's a plane I find hard to believe actually existed. Very nice, and a great job on the paintwork. Black is surprisingly difficult to get right .

Second that (concerning the black) - great work, looks fast! 

Are these white wall tires?

Yes, that is BIG!

Yes it is.  It just barely fits in the Experimental Aircraft hangar of the USAF Museum-






It looms.  Much like the BUFF at Duxford

No, they're silver, the same colour as the landing gear itself. The silver is moulded into the rubber of the tyre itself to help dissipate the heat at M 3.0!

Tell me about it, I've been there and seen it. The tail is right is against the hangar door and it's pretty difficult to see the engine exhausts as they're so close, but it's just possible. I've got a pic of them somewhere but it needs scanning first,

Wonderful model!
