MikeyJ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 This is the Hasegawa kit, from the late 80's i think of an unusual NASA prototype. There wasn't many parts so most of the assembly was just a few hours, and hardly any filler at all. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 That looks a fine job. Especially with the decals. How were they? I have found old Hasegawa decals reluctant to leave the backing sheet. After seeing that I really musr get around to doing mine. I started but put it away when I found the rear part (strakes?) before the elevator was warped and reluctant to straighten.

Shockwave Rider Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I really like the overhead shot. Really cool, and a lovely smooth, dare I say, immaculate finish on the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 That's a really nice looking X-29! Tidy build and great smooth finish 6 hours ago, John R said: That looks a fine job. Especially with the decals. How were they? Exactly what I was going to ask! I have one in the stash and am torn between struggling with the Hasegawa decals or going with a What-if scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decal sheet looked very good for age as it everything was still sealed up in factory bags when i got it. Most decals came straight off with no problem, but a couple of the longer stripes needed an extra soak and a little gentle persuasion in a small area to leave the backing sheet Edited May 22, 2019 by MikeyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Very nice. There were actually two X-29s built and, as can be seen, they were largely made up from Northrop F-5 components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
