About product

Bell X-1 1:72 photo-etched set (Brengun)

A photo-etched set from the Czech maker Brengun for models of the American Bell X-1 experimental rocket airplane in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit but a set of fine metal parts that lifts the detail of a plastic model. The fret is cut for the Tamiya kit.

The real subject

The Bell X-1 was a research rocket airplane in which, in 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first man to break the speed of sound in controlled flight. Its characteristic bullet-shaped fuselage was powered by a liquid-fuel rocket engine.

What the set contains

Photo-etched parts for refining the cockpit and the exterior items; typically details of the instrument panel, the seat belts and small exterior components such as the nose gear doors and the items around the engine nozzles.

Usage tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife on a cutting mat, make the bends over a metal bender and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Paint the interior and bring it out with a wash before closing the fuselage; the glossy orange finish of the real airplane shows to advantage on a smoothly sanded surface.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of experimental and record-breaking airplanes
  • Modelers who want to refine the cockpit and the exterior details
  • More advanced modelers used to photo-etch

This is an accessory set, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
