A few prototypes


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody

I just wanted to share some pictures of 1/72 ND scale prototypes that I built a while ago :

At first, the Lockheed XFV-1 "Salmon" from PEGASUS. I remember to have purchased this kit in Tampa, Florida, after coming back from an Albertson's store reset !

It was a crude and difficult kit to put together but at the time, I think, the only injected 1/72 nd XFV-1 available on the market.

Next, the Northrop N9 M from SWORD, an easy and pleasant kit to build . The position of the decal looks odd, but I found a picture of the plane in one of my magazines :

MACH 2 issued some nice american prototypes, challenging kits, I did my best :

The BELL X2

Nice work from a man after my own heart! Apart from the X-5 I've either built them or have them waiting in the stash.

One I really must get around to is the X-3. It was one of those that was around in my youth and promised so much.

Are you still building?
