First Build - XB-70 Valkyrie

[1964slotnick]

Gents, wanted to share some photos of my first build in over 40 years. There was no question that it would be the XB-70. Found the Italia 1/72 kit online and started the journey in mid-Feb. Had plenty of challenges, but oh so much fun. Thanks to several of you on this board for some help along the way. Feedback always welcome!

You know that now you have to follow up with another one: Our addiction knows no bounds.

I'm impressed how you kept that white bird so spotless; emphasizing the elegance of the design.
