Bell X-1 (Revell)
Supersonic Aircraft

I earlier built the 1:72 Tamiya kit but wanted to have another try with another brand. It wasn't so easy to find, but when I saw that Revell recently issued a new box I went for that. From Revell on 1:32 scale I expected them to be more accurate as to the original. For example the fuselage doesn't have the "air intakes" on the rear end, the tyres of the landing gear do not have diagonal grooves and the engine exhaust is a very poor imitation. But all in all I enjoyed building the kit.
