An enjoyable build of the Bell X-1 from this old kit. It's not designed to have the landing gear retracted, so it took a bit of work to get the gear doors flush. I included Eduard PE inside, but having not used either of the clear fuselage half options, you can't see much at all in there, and the kit parts would have sufficed. It was a good learning experience because the PE came in the kit when I bought it.
Painted in Humbrol enamel and Ammo Acrylic metallics, and varnished in Aqua Gloss. The stand is part of the kit.
I hope you like it. One can really see the profile link between the fuselage and a .50 calibre round. 😎
