Product Overview
This 1:200 scale replica reproduces the North American XB-70A Valkyrie — the six-engine delta-wing prototype built to cruise at Mach 3 above 70,000 ft. Only two Valkyries ever flew; after the bomber program was cancelled, they served on as research aircraft with the Air Force and NASA, and their record remains one of a kind. The airframe is die-cast metal with ABS detail parts, offered in two liveries: the Bald Eagle commemorative artwork, or the NASA 20001 markings from the joint flight-research phase.
Key Features
- Mach 3 Valkyrie Silhouette: long pointed radome, slender fuselage and full delta wing, with the wingtip and canard layout of the original.
- Bald Eagle Artwork: the commemorative scheme carries a painted eagle portrait and the Stars and Stripes across the wing, with U.S. AIR FORCE titles.
- NASA 20001 Markings: the alternate livery wears the orange NASA tail flash and USAF star-and-bar of the flight-research airframe.
- Diecast Metal Build: a heavy zinc-alloy airframe under a durable industrial finish, with crisp panel lines and emblem detail.
- Display Options: landing gear is fitted with rolling wheels, and a detachable stand holds the bomber in an in-flight pose.

FAQs
What are the exact specs of this 1/200 XB-70 Valkyrie?
It measures 28.4 cm (11.2 in) long with a 16 cm (6.3 in) wingspan and stands 5.6 cm (2.2 in) tall on its own; on the included display stand the total display height is 12.5 in. The airframe is cast in die-cast metal with ABS detail parts. At 1/200 it holds its own on a shelf without taking over the room.
What's the story behind the XB-70 Valkyrie?
The XB-70A Valkyrie was North American Aviation's answer to a Cold War brief: a bomber able to cruise at Mach 3 above 70,000 ft, faster and higher than any interceptor of its day. Only two were built. After the bomber program was cancelled, the two airframes flew on as research aircraft for the Air Force and NASA, and the Valkyrie became one of the most admired experimental aircraft ever flown.
Which livery should I choose?
The Bald Eagle version carries commemorative artwork — an eagle portrait and the Stars and Stripes across the wing. The NASA version wears the orange NASA 20001 tail flash and USAF insignia from the flight-research phase. Both are white with a black radome; pick the one that matches the era you want to represent.
Does it come with a stand, and how is it meant to be displayed?
Yes — a detachable display stand is included and holds the bomber in a dynamic in-flight pose. The landing gear is also fitted for a parked display, so you can present it either way.
Where does it fit in a collection?
At 1/200 it pairs naturally with other large bombers — a B-52, a B-2 or a B-29 in a comparable scale. As one of the rarest subjects in aviation, it also works as the conversation piece of a Cold War display.
Do I need to assemble or paint it?
The airframe arrives painted. Minor setup — such as mounting the model on its display stand — is done by hand in a moment; if a small part sits loose in the box, it presses into place.
What's in the box?
The model, its display stand, and protective packaging that keeps it from moving in transit.
How should I clean and look after it?
Dry dust only — a soft brush or a microfiber cloth. Skip water, solvents and household cleaners, which attack the paint. Keep it out of direct sun and out of humid rooms, because both speed up fading, and on the metal parts rust and oxidation.
How is it shipped, and can I track it?
Orders ship worldwide and many qualify for free shipping, with the final rate calculated at checkout. A tracking number goes out by email when the parcel leaves, and you can follow it on the Track Your Order page.
What if it arrives damaged, or I change my mind?
Inspect it on arrival. If anything is damaged, missing or wrong, email service@nuotie.com with photos and we will replace or refund it. Unused models in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days; sale and clearance items are excluded.
