The spacecraft is one solid hunk o'resin, with a molded-in cockpit and
gear wells. The surface finish is slightly rough, with some pin holes
evident. The prominent panel lines of the X-20 are molded in; some
may need additional scribing. You are given a choice of using a solid
canopy piece (with no cockpit detail [obviously]) or detailing the
cockpit with the included seat, canopy hatch, instrument panel, and
vacuformed canopy part. The instructions include exploded drawings,
with all options detailed. Nicely detailed drawings of the instrument
panel and ejection seat are also included. The landing gear
instructions recommend an external support be used, rather than depend
on the white metal skids: this is a very heavy model. A painting
guide is also included. The information article is an uncredited (major
hiss!) xeroxed article from the July 1989 issue of Airpower
magazine.
