Model Review: Convair XB-46

The Convair XB-46 a rival to the B-45 Tornado

The XB-46 was a competitor for the first US jet bomber powered by four 4000ib Allison J35-3 turbojets with two 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns and a munition load of 22,000ibs.

It could fly as high as 40,000 feet and fly as far as 2870 miles with a cruise of 381 knots with its top being 474 knots and had a crew.

The Model is quite good for an aircraft that never got built
