Northrop N9M Test Aircraft

[otftch]

This is a Northrop N9M2 test-bed aircraft for the Northrop flying wings. The aircraft is painted as it appeared post-war and one of the three built survives today. The kit is from Sword and is to 1/72 scale.
Not such an easy aircraft to photograph.

Nice one Ed. I made that kit some time ago. Very interesting aircraft. I believe one of them is still flying.

Ed, wouldn't it be easier if you just listed the 3 or 4 1/72 model kits that you HAVE NOT built yet? Hahahahaha

Nice work Ed!

Amazing 'flying object'...

Yet another good one. Never have heard of Sword kits. Relatively new? I thought most of your legacy builds were late 70s or early 80s for the most part.

Nice one Ed, what brand kit is the XP-67 next to it?

And you would be correct. Planes of Fame in Chino has this little beauty.

Most of my builds are older kits mainly because the current money crunch is killing me. I'm doing mostly what I have stored away.
Mike, I beleive the XP-67 is an MPM kit but it might be Sword also. The memory is the first to go.
Thank you all for you comments.

I don't believe anyone has yet made an injection molded "Moonbat" Ed. Are you sure it's not resin? If not I gotta get me one of those puppies!

 

[otftch]

Sorry I was thinking of the XP-56. You're right the XP-67 is resin.
