Size: 3" 1/144 scale
This little X-1 was built with a 3/8 inch wooden dowel for the fuselage and .020 inch sheet styrene for the control surfaces. Nose and wing-tip probes are .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.
