X-1B


It ben several weeks since I've had time to do any work at either of these builds which as it turned out was a good thing as the modified areas of the dorsal fin had developed some sink holes that I dealt with in the first 2 pictures



After these areas were again sanded and polished I painted the belly hump white and the anti-glare panel black, then masked them and painted all but the outer wings Old Silver.

 

X-1

I've been really busy this summer and haven't had much time to work on either of the X-1's, but I've been able to get a bit done over the last few days, finishing off the instrument panel and adding the back of the indicators and some plumbing. It was a real pain installing it like the plan said - after the fuselage was together. If I had to do it again I would do it before. I just dipped the canopy in Future and hope to install it tomorrow.
