XAB-1 Bomber Scale 144:1

Convair's XAB-1 concept bomber with atomic engines.  This bomberis capable of accepting 2 high-performance jet parasite fighters (Not included) that were carried with the bomber and then released over enemy territory to provide airborne defense. Like many atomic-powered bomber designs the XAB-1 featured an extended fuselage to keep the crew as far from the atomic-powered engines as possible.  The engines themselves were placed on the wingtips so they could be easily removed and serviced by ground crews.  These engines would kick in only when the XAB-1 was actually in flight; take-offs and landings would be accomplished using conventional inboard jet engines.DetailsWhat's in the box:XAB-1 114to1Dimensions:31.1 x 35.23 x 8.22 cmSwitch to inchesSuccess Rate:First To try.What's this?    Like many atomic-powered bomber designs the XAB-1 featured an extended fuselage to keep the crew as far from the atomic-powered engines as possible.  The engines themselves were placed on the wingtips so they could be easily removed and serviced by ground crews.  These engines would kick in only when the XAB-1 was actually in flight; take-offs and landings would be accomplished using conventional inboard jet engines.
