Just great. Now I’m going to have to look for another XL kit. Nice
Ok, ladies and gents I have finished this beast. It is in the Ferris/Heator or Heater/Ferris camo (depends on the reference source) It has so much filler in it I think I could work in an auto body shop now. Sorry for the quality of the photos, new camera and I have not figured everything out.
I found decals in the spares that I thought would work. I added nose art because I wanted to. The nose art is a combination of decals from Mongram’s 1/48th P-61. I used the pin up from the Husslin Hussy and the times a wasting text from the Snuffy Smith. Comments and critique welcome.
OH MY that’s a beauty ! Flawless paint job and loving it.
Very nice!
I really like that, the scheme looks right on this. Nice looking build.
Jay Jay, Cdn Collins and Bish thanks for the comments.
A beautiful scheme and finish!
Considering the expansion and contraction of the fuselage at high speeds, I doubt that paint would last long. However, I always assumed that the B-70 (if operational) would rarely go much above mach 1 in peace-time. When it came time to use the B-70, paint would not be a problem as it would be used only once!

Very nice! I am a fan of what-if schemes and that is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
GAF, I did some research on the XB-70 and the paint. I found out that it peeled off because they put it on too thick. When they figured that out and sprayed the paint thinner most of the paint issues went away. Plus the USAF was considering using a opaque silver for for the production aircraft. That would have been something to see.
That is a beautiful build. Be careful. As I recall, Keith Ferris sued the Navy for using the Heatley Ferris scheme.
