Bell X-5, Revell, 1/40
« on: October 04, 2015, 04:59:36 PM »
Hello  :-salut :-salut

Another old kit issued in 1959 by Revell... Re-issued in the early 1980s as "History makers" kits.
That was the first plane with movables wings in flight drawn from the messerschmitt Me P. 1101 of which the sweep of the wings was settled on the ground before flight...
This kit has been built in 1989.

Engineering scale is interesting :)

In the 1950s, 1/40 scale was chosen for space vehicles and missiles.
