Not to mention the one F-104 Chase pilot that got caught in a vortex off of one the only two test Valkyries ever built and skip crashed inverted onto its right vertical stabilizer killing himself, everyone on board the XB70A, and even the guy in the other F-104 chase plane! That helped Obsolete it pretty well too!

any kit would do,just a matter of finding a decal sheet to fit.{improvise,adapt,overcome}
