The Northrop XB-35 and YB-35 were experimental heavy bomber aircraft developed for the United States Army Air Forces during and shortly after World War II by the Northrop Corporation. It used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are eliminated and all payload is carried in a thick wing. Only prototype and pre-production aircraft were built, although interest remained strong enough to warrant further development of the aircraft as a jet bomber, under the designation YB-49. Dragon's Warbird range already includes the YB-49, so the addition of this model completes the flying-wing series. The propeller engines at the rear of the flying wing are reproduced in sophisticated detail and are true to scale. Since the original XB-35 was made of aluminium alloy, Dragon's innovative "metallic skin" technique is used to realistically recreate this material. The result is a fine representation of this futuristic-looking metal-skinned flying wing.
