Description
The North American X-15 was an experimental hypersonic rocket plane from 1989 which would skim along the edge of space to gather data. The few pilots that flew this craft were eventually rewarded with their astronaut wings as they had technically breached into space. In 1967 it set a new speed record for manned powered flight reaching a whopping Mach 6.7 (4520mph), which still holds strong today, double of the SR-71 at 2nd place!
Pair it up alongside more USAF models!
F22 Raptor V-22 Osprey F16 Fighting Falcon P-51D Mustang
Just a wee kit this week, though still to scale with the other fighter jets! As per usual, there are 2 versions of the kit, one with a hanging loop and the other without, along with the individual part files for those uninterested in the card format!
Makes greatly appreciated, always happy to see them! :)
