- The Valkyrie was under development when they were still using X prefixes for
- prototypes, so it will be listed in catalogs as the XB-70 Valkyrie.

- The only kits I know of are Lindberg's 1/180 injection molded offering, and
- Contrail's 1/72 scale vac-u-form. BIG model. Damn big. Not an easy vac, either.
- One of the harder vacs on the market. But damn impressive to see, when built.
