X Plane Models
I have always liked prototypes
and experimental aircraft. Recently there have been a number of
X-planes available as nice kits (not just vacuforms). Just click
on the thumbnail photo to bring up the
larger image.
These are all 1/72 scale unless
noted.

Dyna-Soar
In early 2000 I
finally finished the nifty little 1/144th scale X-20 DynaSoar kit
produced by PartTime Models. This is an all-resin kit that I enhanced
by adding some wire struts to the engine area and reshaping the engine
nozzles. It had a fair amount of surface irregularities but a little
putty and super glue took care of that. Overall I was pleased with the
results.
