This
little X-1 was built with a 3/8 inch wooden dowel for the fuselage and
0.020
inch sheet styrene for the control surfaces. Nose and wing-tip probes
are
0.024 inch brass wire tipped with styrene shavings for probe sensors.
Most
of the markings were made by photocopying 1/72 scale drawings of the
X-1
from Aerofax Datagraph's Bell X-1 Variants at 50% onto decal film.
National
insignia are from Minicraft's 1/200 scale XB-70 Valkyrie kit.
The
wind screen was airbrushed on and the windscreen straps were drawn on
decal
film and applied over the windscreen.
