Dave Williams 3,014 Posted March 6 Was the original X-1 still painted orange after April 1949 when NATO formed? It might have been all white by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M 1,583 Posted March 6 thts a very good question ok this image is dated Jan 49 however on diggin in Aug 49 it was still orange and the serial number confirms it, so i think its good to go 2 BradG and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 32,340 Posted March 6 Wow, very cool! Id say go for 6062 as it really looks good with the white and orange. Besides, it seems like most everyone doing an X-1 does GG. 10 hours ago, Mark M said: 2 Mark M and Dutch Man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark M 1,583 Posted March 13 ok ive just spotted something, is it me or is the left wing white?? 1 Alain Gadbois reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M 1,583 Posted March 13 can anyone confirm this? 1 Alain Gadbois reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alain Gadbois 1,781 Posted March 13 Interesting! Looks white of course, and also the fairing under the fuselage. I would be looking for more photos to confirm the colors under the wings. Alain 1 Mark M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M 1,583 Posted March 13 The under fuselage but is white but it's the first time I've seen the wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alain Gadbois 1,781 Posted March 13 Me too, I never noticed this. I guess it is for the same reason rockets have a unique white/black pattern. We are naturally not used see a non symetrical paint job. 1 Mark M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landrotten Highlander 291 Posted March 13 Looks to me based on the B&W picture that the left wing is white, the right wing orange, while the fuselage has a white band at top and bottom and orange sides? 1 Mark M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alain Gadbois 1,781 Posted March 13 Found these two photos, curiously no markings are visible. 1 Landrotten Highlander reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alain Gadbois 1,781 Posted March 13 The Eduard kit instructions show 6062 with the exact paint scheme as in my above post, but with the added serial number and insignia. No insignia on the left wing top side though. The bottom side of the left wing is orange. Alain 1 Mark M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
