[About the actual machine]
-The B-52 Stratofortress is a very large strategic bomber that has been in operation since 1955 and is still active in the US Air Force.
-Initially designed for the purpose of mounting a nuclear bomb, but then a standard bomb type appeared.
-It was first put into actual use in the Vietnam War and demonstrated its ability to the North Bomb.
-It has been over half a century since the operation started, but various improvements have been made, and it continues to operate as the main bomber of the US Air Force.
-High reliability, high bomb loading capacity, etc. have not yet faded.
-Taking advantage of its high loading capacity, it was sometimes used as a mother machine for experimental machines.
-The famous X-15, which was developed as a rocket engine experimental aircraft, is one of them, and we are conducting various flight experiments including space flight with the B-52 as the mother aircraft.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the rocket engine experimental aircraft X-15 and the B-52 that supported the flight experiment as a mother aircraft in 1/175 scale.
-This kit is a re-release by Atlantis model of the vintage kit released by Old Revel in 1961.
-It's a kit that veteran modelers can't miss.
-The model is a model of B-52 and X-15. The B-52 reproduces the pylon for hanging the X-15 under the wings and the shape of the main wing that was cut off to avoid the tail of the X-15.
-And, the X-15 realistically models the style unique to the experimental machine.
-Can be attached and removed even after completion.
-It can also be finished with an external fuel tank.
-The model has a display base and a swivel stand that makes the display fun to complete.
-With transparent parts, you can freely set the angle, so you can enjoy the atmosphere finish.
