Comments:
|
The resin parts have a smooth surface finish and finely recessed panel
lines. The fuselage is hollow, with an option to display the canopy
open or closed. There is some flash on the parts that are thin and
tiny, but there are no evident airholes in any of the resin parts.
The metal landing gear parts appear to be strong enough to support the
model. Two vacuformed clear canopies are provided, in case you damage
one. The instructions consist of an exploded drawing along with an
aircraft history that appears to be lifted (uncredited) from Jay
Miller's The X-Planes. A painting and decaling guide for the
various configurations of the X-1E complete the instructions. The
waterslide decals are provided for most of the markings, including the
Star and Bar insignia.
