Bell X-2

June, 2020 -- 1/48 Fonderie Miniature Bell X-2 2020-06-16 23.39.06
This is the Fonderie Miniature kit with the addition of some Collect-Aire X-2 parts. The cradle/tow dolly is all Fonderie Miniature and cast in white metal. Decals are Cutting Edge -- a sheet I don't believe was ever released and had no instruction sheet printed for it. Pilot is a Shapeways product. Let's just say this kit is rough and required a LOT of refining and checks to reference material. It's shown as it appeared before its final flight with the unfortunate Captain "Mel" Apt at the controls. 2020-06-16 23.37.45
