thanks, tom. damn history channel.
also thanks.
I've also heard that Testors Competition Orange is a good match.
what i want to know is what is that white irregular shaped area on the front lower fusalage,that ive noticed in some dryden/nasa photos?????????,peeled away skin/paint from friction or a few unlucky birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Possibly frost buildup from the freezing cold propellents used to fuel the motor?
just a guess??
Francis Marion
photos?????????,peeled
Sometimes Google will tell you things you just DON'T want to know...
1) "Bell X1" is now the name of a band of some sort... 2) I saw what you're talking about in one photo, but it wasn't a clear shot...what IS that?Next contestant, please...
Good guess...
hopefully they wouldnt have those tanks below the pilots area in the front lower fusalage.this was on a landing picture as it was gliding in
photos?????????,peeled
Or the Pumpkin Orange that comes in the small (square) bottle.
i'll bet that Xtracolor's international orange is a good match too.
you will want to look at the january 2004 number of SAMI - scale aviation modeller international too.
they have some reviews on some new resin sets for the X-1E, which look quite good. that's along with some decal and resin sets for NASA NB-52's in

Pick a orange, any orange..... it don't matter, coz there ain't no record of the real colour....

thankd, i will. now if i coul find a 1/32 b29.
These 'humps' are cable ducts for wiring, piping, and control runs. Both the upper & lower were painted white, along with the verticle fin, when I saw 6062 at NASM.

Saw a 1/72 scale 747 with space shuttle at a contest, I think last spring.
Tom
