Dermo245 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hi all and my first build for 2019, Grumman's X-29 for the Grumman Group Build here. The X-29 project tested forward swept wing technology and two aircraft were built, flying from 1984 to 1991. The short build thread is here but to recap: Kit: Hasegawa 1/72 X-29 kit number 00243 Build: Out of Box Paints: Halfords white from a can, Revell acrylics by brush for anything else! Klear. Flory Models wash (gear) and 4H pencil for some panel lines (thanks son). Decals: from kit Extras: Seat belts from Tamiya tape The wing decals are off - I didn't put them on right and they should meet the leading edge of the wing. Oh well, at least both the wings are wrong! But I enjoyed making something different and happy how it turned out.

MarcNewitt Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Lovely stuff, right up my alley this one, I love prototypes and experimental aircraft and you have a lovely example of the 29 to put on the shelf. Wouldn't worry at all about the wing decs as the overall finish more than makes up for it, besides if you hadn't of said anything then I don't think I really would have noticed!
