replicant Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hello, This is my Logo Bird. First Mach 3 Plane. No jet. It´s a winged Rocket, built with parts of the hopelessly bad aviastone kit, which is surprisingly better than Mach2 or Olymp. There is Ivan Kincheloe after his last flight (Altitude Record) with starbuster in the cockpit, while Bob Rohrer from Bell Team is leaning on the jeep. Cheers! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Fantastic X-2 there, got a soft spot for the X types myself, may revisit the theme one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Really nice X-2! These trailblazers are worth a reminder or two every now and then. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
replicant Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thank you! The markings were quite non standard because they were burning off quickly. The crew worked 100 hrs a week to get it airborne, they simply handpainted them over... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toward the Unknown made the X-2 a Movie Star, also the XB-51. Oh Lord, PLEASE GIVE ME A XB-51!!!!!!!! :-) On the Starbuster there are yellowish and reddish remains of Templac stripes left (for heat indication), the USAF looked that way on pictures, maybe a team choke .... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
replicant Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 This was my first full resine kit. I learnt it the hard way. Pink glasses I think, that´s why i love the model so much. It was in ModellFan 2010 07. There is all the WIP. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That is excellent! I love the "X" planes and experimental types. Great bit of modelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
