The XB-35 was the first Northrop flying wing bomber design. And,XB-35 was produced as a candidate of 10~10 bombers (The amount equipped with 10,000 bombs and 10,000 bomber with the cruising range of mile) who had been planned for the European front of World War II. However, it was not selected because of vibration problem of Contra-Rotating Propeller and loads of bomb that are fewer than that of expectation etc. Finally, neither arrived at mass production though aimed at making to the jet, and invented YB-49 and YRB-49. by Kazunori Ito.
the rendering of this airplane is, like the author's other add ons, excellent. but, its engines produce too much power at idle so that the airplane's main wheels won't touch down - the thing lands on its nose wheel - so the brakes won't stop it before the shrubbery arrives.

This is a very nifty model. Fun to fly. A very good candidate for an update...
