X-15A2

Christian Ristits Autor
Some WIP of my actual project, a X-15A2. The Special Hobby Kit is a real nightmare, but I am happy with the result...started my compressor today to paint the fuselage, I tried to simulate the abrassive paint with many different colour shades...Cheers, Christian

Many thanks again for your motivating words my friends!
Yes Thomas, a B-52 in Quarter Scale...this would be nice 😉 But I guess I have to move into another place when my wife would see the box 😉
Decals are on, now I apply a grey-wash...will post some pics after that...Cheers, Christian

Great work Christian! Splendid!

Hanno Kleinecke
Very realistic depiction of the inconel-X surface finish, great result, Christian !

Bernhard Schrock
I agree Hanno: very well rendered original (non painted but anodized) surface of the X-15.

Spanjaard
i fully agree with Hanno and Bernhard

Michael Phillips
Fantastic work once again Christian! The weathered surface is really well done, which can be hard to do depicting that type of surface. I will certainly refer to this build when I build mine some day. Very inspiring!
