1/144 Convair XAB-1 (1958) - By Fantastic Plastic


1/144 Convair XAB-1 (1958) - By Fantastic Plastic
=====================================
In the 1950s, America's defense industry explored several radical ways to gain air superiority over the rival Soviet Union. Convair's XAB-1 concept bomber employed two notions that were particularly fashionable during this Cold War period. One was the idea of atomic engines, power plants that could keep a plane airborne virtually indefinitely
.
Price: TBD $
Availablity: January 2010 (who needs anymore socks for Christmas anyway!)
.
http://www.fantastic-plastic.com/ConvairXAB-1CatalogPage.htm
.
This will be a proper 1/144 version of the following HAWK kit in 1:188 - the following should at least give you a good appreciation of what the kit will look like
