1/48 Eduard Bell X-1

Post by keavdog »

Neat little kit. There are no part numbers on the sprue and no locating pins, otherwise a nice little kit. Comes with 3 separate PE painted instrument panels for the different versions.

No other pics - kinda went together quickly. Cockpit is nice. I glued the door shut though as I was certain I'd loose it - can't see much inside with the door shut. Comes with nicely cast resin wheels. Gear doors are way thick though.
Thanks,
John

Neat!
