Bell X-1 Machbuster
This model had two clear fuselage parts to be able to show the fuel tanks and the engine. Normally I build aircraft in an operational status, but this time it seemed a waste to hide everything. I decided to use the left clear fuselage half, because when placed in my collection, the closed version would be visible at first sight. But all parts are glued to this left side and although I was careful with the glue I used, it was still visible. Then my wife suggested to start anew, now using the right clear side!
Now I managed to put everything in place, without glue stains. I added some piping from the fuel tanks to the egine.

The final result.
The clear side. A nice little kit!

Jan PetersCool kit, looking like a cuttaway drawing. Putting it together without glue stains would be quite a Challenge.

Wouter RoerdinkYes the first time I built it, I did have some glue stains. But my wife suggested to build it the other way: glue everything to the other part, so I only had to glue the clear part to the other half and you see the result!
