Revell Bell X-1

Has anyone built this kit? Any helpful build hints? Is there any hobby paint available now for the orange paint?

According to the instructions the FS# is 12197.  How much weight do you need so you don't have to use the clear support Revell included?  TIA

Ron, thank you for the LSP links.

Jennings, thank you for the paint FS numbers.

Kevin, my box art is different then either of the kits in the 2 WIP shortcuts that Ron posted and is a 2003 release with decal as in the release you have in the WIP and has the reworked exhaust.as the other kit WIP

Eric's is one of the better builds of the X-1 out there, though he finished his as the white NACA bird:

I never got very far with mine, and oddly, was just thinking about it today! I really need to get back to it. I bought a can of Tamiya TS-12 Orange for mine, but I don't know how close it really is to the actual colour.

 

Mike, are you able to take a snap of the box for me? It sounds like you have this one, for which we have little info and no box photo:
