Boeing B-47A 49-1900 NACA

These are 1/72 scale decals for Boeing B-47A 49-1900, operated by NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) as an aeronautical research aircraft.

The B-47 Stratojet was a revolutionary design when it entered service, introducing swept wings and podded jet engines to American bomber aviation. NACA acquired early B-47A airframes to study the aircraft's advanced aerodynamic characteristics, contributing to the foundational research that would shape the next generation of American jet aircraft. NACA's work with the Stratojet helped bridge the gap between early jet-age experimentation and the high-performance aircraft that followed.

This subject predates NASA's establishment in 1958, representing the B-47 in the markings of its NACA research career — a distinctive and less commonly modeled scheme.
