Well, At Least They Tried - Platicraft's Convair YB-60

I have a ton of toy aircraft photos, but I'll try and find those toys based on unsuccessful prototypes. The first one I came across in my files was this Convair YB-60 made by Plasticraft. The YB-60 was in direct competition for the Air Force's newest heavy bomber c.1950, but lost outely scrapped.

    What a great toy, of a forgotten aircraft. It looks like a B-36 crossed with a B-52. Not surprising, as the real YB-60 was an all-jet development of the B-36 design.

      This would have made a great tin-litho toy but alas, only this relatively small version was ever made.
