Thanks for the suggestions, guys, but this kit was finished a few months ago

Since it was completed, I managed to, somehow, lose the right wing probe and rebuild it from scrap styrene.  To this day, I have no idea where that probe disappeared to

I didn't say it would be easy.... maybe the trapeze  hanger from mission impossible?

the best all time best reference for the bell x-1 is in the Smithsonian air and space museum.  go in the door,  it is in the wing to the right.

When I was there it was hanging from the ceiling, making it kind of hard to get a good look at.

Fred Yesterday at my lhs I got 6 mags for cheap ,old editions of Scale Modeler one has a 6-7 page article on this model and the B-29 .November 1988 ,Volume 23 ,number 11 .

I thought one day a 1/48  dio of these two would be cool ,there is a B-29 conversion kit from eagles Talon I would love to find. I cant keep up w/you!-  if you can wait a few days I may find more.

Thanks, Ken
