A lot of people stated that their favorite aviation movie was “The Right Stuff,” so I thought I’d share my Eduard Bell X 1. It’s the Profi-pack version. This kit has great resin & photo-etch “stuff.” The X 1 was my favorite part of that movie.
Hey Pix,
That is one sweet lookin X-1. The Bell plant is about a 20 minute drive from where I live!!
If ya need any reference pics just give me a shout. I guess thats one perk to having grandfather that worked at the plant as a “line supervisor” from 39-45[:I]

Hey, Butz, I do have a MPM P63A in the closet. I built their 63C in Rusky markings. I want to do the A in US. I have a few pics of Frank Borman’s restored Kingcobra (INCREDIBLE !), but you know that mags like “Air Classics” never show anything as mundane as a wheel well, etc. Do you have any shots of the gear & wells ? I’m in no hurry, as that kit is a difficult build for me. At least it comes with resin & a vac canopy, though. I’ll see if I can take a shot of the 63C from an angle where its not so bad (NOT one of my better builds !) Thanks for the compliment, its appreciated. Pix
Hey Pix,
Let me see what I can do.
Flaps up, Mike
