HL-10 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) This is Revell's 1/32nd scale kit of the Bell X1 supersonic research aeroplane. It is the one that was flown through the "sound barrier" by Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager on the 14th October 1947. I engraved the panel lines and added a set of aftermarket seat belts. The instrument dials came from the Airscale range. I also added detail to the inner face of the cockpit access hatch. Along side the X-15 Thanks for looking Angelo Edited November 4, 2020 by HL-10 thierry laurent, Daniel Leduc, Trak-Tor and 19 others 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinuheH Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Lovely work - brings "The Right Stuff" back to my mind - impressive to see it parked next to the X-15. Curious as to how the British effort with Eric Brown and the Miles M.52 would have shaped up had that project not been untimely cancelled.

aircommando130 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 "Hey Riddley...got any Beeman's" Awesome X-1...My dad was stationed at Edwards when I was a young guy (1958-1964) and I saw the X-15 taxi out under the wing of the B-52 and slide back in on the dry lake. Cheers...Ron HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
