[I meant to post this in this forum instead of the WTB forum ... sorry for the reposting.]
I finally got around to reading the thread on the Fighting 1/18 forum (I'm not a member) that was linked in a post on the BST forum. I see where someone at Pegasus made what looks like a casual comment about wanting to make a 1/18 X-15.
If anyone's been bored enough to follow my 3d printing thread, they will have seen that the X-15 was a very likely next project for me after I finally "close out" development of the A4/V2. The news that Pegasus may be thinking about this would have a big impact on whether I devote time to an X-15 printed kit -- in fact, it would ensure that I wouldn't.
So first, does anyone have contact info for Pegasus that will get me to someone there who really knows what their plans are? If so, I would really, really appreciate it if you could provide that to me.
Second, I'm guessing it's perfectly appropriate to ask Pegasus if they really intend to develop an X-15. I know of the kind of games the major and semi-major producers played back in the Golden Age, sending "head fakes" to each other about product development that killed some great projects, and then ending up doing a really astonishing number of duplications.
So, what's the feeling about just flat-out asking Pegasus if they're serious about an X-15?

Re: Contact for Pegasus and a question about product develop
Don't know any contact info for Pegasus, but given their awesome job on the X-1, I would be all over a 1:18 X-15. I'm looking to put together some NASA/ test pilots and aircraft for my collection, maybe some '50s-'60s era, and an X-15 would be the crown jewel. If we could get hold of someone there, I think it would be a good question to ask.
