Description

This is a 1/100 scale desktop display model of the Northrop YB-49, the experimental jet-powered prototype heavy bomber known for its Flying Wing design. The model is constructed of painted resin or plastic with a metallic silver finish. It captures the aerodynamic profile of the aircraft, featuring the characteristic eight jet exhaust ports and four vertical stabilizer fins. The surface is detailed with United States Air Force markings, including the star-and-bar insignia on the right wing and black USAF block lettering on the left wing. The piece is mounted on a black, triangular-shaped pedestal display stand. The front of the base is printed with white text identifying the subject as NORTHROP YB-49 SCALE 1/100. A contemporary white barcode inventory label is currently attached to the pedestal. Wingspan: Approximately 20.6 inches.
