Looks like the price has gone up compared to what I remember the last release going for. But, it looks like you get a stand so you can show it inflight. https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Model_Aircraft/x-15a2-white-ablative-coating/SPH00032081/product.php?kw=X-15 If you get it directly from Special Hobby it is about $88 shipped to the US. That isn't too bad so the price there is pretty reasonable. It has a ton of resin also. There are some short comings in the kit, but that has been discussed at length. As for this kit, the only things that are different from the last boxing with tanks and dolly are the addition of the stand and ramjet. The latter giving rise to the former. This one finally brings an end to the X-15 series with the exception of the A-1 with the XLR99 but that can be made with some kit bashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 I believe that the PE fret is slightly different also. This kit has the pitot tube rake that goes at the front of the ventral fin that isn’t in the previous black A-2 w/ ground dolly kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get a good look this weekend and will be able to tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Just looked. The only differences on the PE between the X-15A-2 kits that had the tanks and dolly is the layout. Everything else appears to be the same. The kit without those items has a smaller fret and the A-1 has a different main IP. thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
