Artoor_K Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bell X-1 Revell/Monogram 1/32 I think this one is much older than me :) Painted with Tamiya and Mr. Hobby paints. Weathering is done with AMMO MIG and AK INTERACTIVE. Base is made with AK Crackle Effects. I've modified hatch lid, rescriber raised panel lines, added a few wires behind the instrument panel and basically that's all. Hope you'll like it :) 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeddahbill Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Well done! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Fantastic! I would see that at the local hobby shops in the 80's but it just didn't interest me back then. Now of course I wish I had one of those in my stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Your orange looks just right. The lakebed effect is a killer touch. Did you have fun re-scribing it? I'm actually quite curious what paint or mix you got that lovely orange with. I dug my X-1 kit out and I'm wondering how to paint overall orange.

Of course in Revell box. I think Revell re-released it in 2019 or on the beggining of 2020.

This is out-of-the-bottle Mr.Hobby Aqueous H14, without any mixing. Then MIG Track Wash which is brown, I didn't coated it after painting so no gloss varnish etc.. Wash was used as soon as paint was dry. About rescribing...It's not my favourite form of excercise I can say that with RB Productions Scribe-R I was able to finish it and not throw X-1 through the window with subsonic speed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Very nice. I have the Tamiya X1, somewhere. Must finish it one day. I wonder how much Revell paid Yeager to use his Glamorous Glennis trademark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
