I have 2 X-1 planes. The orange mach-1 mission and a white 6063 sister bird with the evaluation black X markings on the sides.

speaking of which, where is a good place to buy one of these? Hard to find (pegasus really needs to do something about that) and inflated prices when i do.

Suggestions?
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

I got the kit version when they first came out. Mine came with the nose art decal.

:shock: After seeing how nice Tmans X-1 turned out I had to have one so I added to my collection over a year ago, however I've never built it so still nib. I hope to get to it someday. He also used a 21st figure for a test pilot aka Chuck Yeager. It looks excellent imho. :wink:

I got mine from TKO, who did a wonderful job on it. 8)

And he gave me about 6 different options[ schemes to choose from] :D

Glad that Pegasus did this historic aircraft, but the later versions did not apparently have the " Glamorous Glennis" decal. :evil: Not exactly sure why, but people suggest it had to do with the Yeager estate. :roll:

from comparing the foto of the Glennis decal from the kit and the actual foto of Yaeger standing next to the bird...the one from the kit seems a bit too large...http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KJkexUbNhNz ... k.YwkUO3bh http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KJkexUbNhNz ... k.YwkUO3bh

Here is my 6063 sister ship. I have seen this one modeled before with white wings and with the natural metal skin... I think the white is actually more accurate but I couldn't resist the look of the metal wings.
