Does anyone know where to find materials and/or photographs for modifying 1/72 B-29s to carry x-planes; specifically, the X-1 and X-15?
Hi Nick just thought i would let you know hat the B29 didn’t carry the X15, it was the B52 that carried it. i think that there was a conversion kit for the B29 / X1 . if i find out who did it i’ll let you know. Greg

Try NASA Dryden Flight Research Centre Photo Archive - Flight test at its’ best!

Ps. They also have extensive B52 drop ship photos there too!
team tornado,
that dryden site is great, I’m glad I read this thread.
Nick,
A B-28/X-1 diorama would look great. You have given me a good idea, I’ve got a kit of the X-1 in 1/32 now I just need a B-29 in 1/32.[:p]
