The US Navy flew some EB-47Es until 1977. Development began in 1943, and the design changed several times until Boeing came up with a 6-jet aircraft with the engines in pods under the wings. Because of the size of the engine pods, the main landing gear was set up as a \"bicycle\", with 2 main gear under the fuselage, and smaller outriggers under the engine pods. With this setup, the B-47 could not rotate the nose on takeoff. The main gear was set so the aircraft sat at optimum takeoff angle at all times. The B-47 was subsonic, but extremely fast for a 1950s, setting a number of time and distance records, with speeds around 600 miles per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41241871351964,"sku":"AC12618","price":42.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/AC12618-1.webp?v=1662595608"},{"product_id":"academy-13227-1-35-merkava-mk-iv-lic-plastic-model-kit","title":"Academy 13227 1\/35 Merkava Mk.IV LIC Plastic Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcademy 13227 1\/35 Merkava Mk.IV LIC Plastic Model Kit delivers a highly detailed representation of the modern Israeli main battle tank, configured for Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) operations, for discerning scale modelers and military enthusiasts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeaturing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAccurate Armour Details:\u003c\/b\u003e Faithfully replicates the Merkava Mk.IV's modular armour and unique design features specific to the LIC variant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e подвижный Turret and Gun:\u003c\/b\u003e The turret rotates, and the gun elevates, allowing for dynamic display options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDetailed Suspension System:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a realistic suspension system with подвижный parts for enhanced realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinished Model Dimensions (Approximate):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLength:\u003c\/b\u003e 27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWidth:\u003c\/b\u003e 11 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Academy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Merkava Mk.IV LIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eParts count:\u003c\/b\u003e 500+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Injection-moulded plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePaint\/Glue:\u003c\/b\u003e Paint and glue required (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/b\u003e 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrack Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Individual links\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFigures Included:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/b\u003e Military modelling enthusiasts, history buffs, and collectors seeking a challenging and rewarding build of a modern Israeli tank with accurate LIC configuration, backed by Hobbyco’s trusted service and fast shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy this kit matters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Merkava Mk.IV is the latest generation of the Israeli Merkava main battle tank.
