1/144 Bell X-1 "Sonic Breaker" (1+1)
http://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/prodd.asp?pid=DRW51021
Dragon is offering a fine 1/144 scale model of the Bell X-1 as part of its aircraft collection.
The new set features two complete X-1 aircraft models.
- the first is a standard replica of this supersonic craft, while
- the second has a transparent fuselage that shows off the “interior” of the unique X-1.
Both fully built-up and finely painted models are masterfully recreated in miniature. They also come with a sleek display stand made of metal that allows both models to be displayed “flying”

ReplyDeleteHistoric planes..
I just could pray for someone release B-29 Mothership set conversion for Fujimi kit with decals?
Or even Dragon could do a new B-29?
And the U-2R/Tr-1 ? will be die cast only?
I personally like to see more 50's jets.

Muroc Models has a mothership conversion which is actually quite nice. Used to be able to buy it from Edwards Airforce Base in California, but their giftshop is now closed on-line.
ReplyDeleteYou can reach out to David Newman directly via email for his kits, conversion sets, and excellent decals:

the decal of mothership is nice...the conversion parts...there are 2 propelers in pic but came 4 for B-29?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry this little gem, fully
ReplyDeletedetailed inside, is not provided with important exterior detail, I
mean landing gear ! Hoping next models in the series, U2, TR1, will
be equipped with these details, and
in case of X15, correct skis rear gear. I am sure many guys like to
display their models on ground.
Actually, the pictures on the DML site show that it has landing gears on both kits:

Check out the first picture, with both planes on the stand. It looks like they come with landing gear. If that's the case with this set, it's a real nice one!
I would like to buy this conversion set from Muroc...
ReplyDeleteIt is good ? Is the same for X-1 and X-1A ?
Thank you !
