Bell X-1 - The mach buster
On October 14, 1947, Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound in his Bell X-1, which he named Glamorous Glennis, in tribute to his wife. He reached a speed of 1,127 kilometers (700 miles) per hour, or Mach 1.06, at an altitude of 13,000 meters (43,000 feet).
Tamiya kit, 1/72 scale built straight from the box. All painting done with Tamiya acrylics.
All comments and critics welcomed
