1/72 NASA lifting bodies


Recommended Posts

A very fine collection of interesting subjects. I too remember the opening credits of the 6 million Dollar Man and that footage of the crash. Those pilots must have been very brave men, no computers to help them out with what must have been incredibly unstable machines when landing.

Very cool

Was it the last one that was used in the intro for 6 million dollar man?

I vaguely remember a liftingbody crashing....

The one that crashed in the opening sequence of "The Six Million Dollar Man" was the M2-F2, the 3rd one down of Lizz 62's builds, but the one that Lee Majors "flew" was the HL-10, which is seen launching from the B-52 at the start of the title sequence.

The M2-F2 actually crashed, as seen in the opening titles, and the pilot survived. The HL-10 didn't ever crash, except in the series.

Now thats something you don't see every day, a page full of lifting bodies, actually I've always thought of them as controlled falling bodies or as Buzz Lightyear would say, "falling with style". :) A nicely done line up & surely a unique collection.
