Model of a 1960s hypersonic aircraft which, until today, holds
the world’s speed record for the fastest manned plane. It was also the
first aircraft to reach the altitude regarded as the boundary between
the earth atmosphere and the outer space. Knowledge gained during the
development of the X-15 and the test flights was substantial for the
Apollo programme and aero and space research.
This reissue offers
the X-15A-2 as it looked before its final flight when W.J. ‘Pete’ Knight
reached the world speed record. The kit can be built on the transport
cart or even put on a stand in a flight configuration with the dummy ram
jet under the fin. The kit contains finely detailed resin parts
including the ram jet, photo etches, plastic stand and a decal sheet
with markings for the plane wearing the white ablative coating.
