1/32 McDonnell XV-1 Convertiplane
Posted by Papa-Echo-64 on Monday, November 7, 2005 1:30 PM
Does anyone have this kit?

I hear its not bad for a late fifties model kit with a decent interior as well?
Re released by Glencoe Models in 88...I think? At 1/32 scale I figure about 11 inches in length? Too bad Cobra doesn't have a set for tit.

Straighten up and fly right.....

I don't have the kit, but see it down at the "Hobbit" hobby shop in Fayetteville.    It would look nice dressed up!

Take care,Smile [:)]

Papa- Echo, Just to let you know that in the December 2004 issue of Flight Journal Magazine there is an article on the Convertiplane along with photos. It is currently being restored at the Bell Plant 6 flight-test facility at the municipal airport in Arlington, Texas. It will be taken to the Wright Patterson AFB Museum in 2008. log on to www.flightjournal.com web site and possibly they may have a back issue if your interested. Dennis. dsc070744@wowway.com

For clarification, what's being restored at Bell is an XV-3, a tiltrotor.
