The
XB-42 was one of the most advanced propeller-driven aircraft ever conceived. It was very fast, had good range, and could have carried a heavy bomb load. Unfortunately, the advent of jet propulsion and the imminent end of World War Two made it obsolete. The model comes with two bubble canopies and auxiliary jet engines. They might make interesting additions to a Luftwaffe '46 scenario.
This model is direct re-scale from our
XB-42 Mixmaxter 1/144 with landing gear.
