Moin Gerald! Der "Rest" ist auch noch da, die Tragflächen waren aber an der Originalmaschine nie montiert. guckst Du hier:

Die in USA eingelagerten Tragflächen waren von den Amerikanern an der Maschine montiert worden. Aufgrund auf Fotos vermeintlich zu sehenden "Spaltmaßen" scheint man sich aber nicht sicher ob aufgrund der schlechten Passung damals an dieses Rumpfmittelstück evtl. die Flächen eines anderen Prototypen montiert waren.
Info stammt von einem Post auf Facebook. Soviel zur "Gerüchteküche" 😉

Ja das weis ich doch , aber sieht doch imposanter aus oder ?

Wäre auch meine erste Frage gewesen, wo die Flügel abgeblieben sind! 😄
Aber dann das "Innenleben" nachzubauen, ist auch eine besondere Herausforderung ... die du, Christian, toll gelöst hast! 👍

I keep forgetting how old this kit is!
But, it is a fine engineered kit, isn`t it?
I like this aircraft, his technology and his famous aerodynamic features.
Having this kit in stash it is waiting for building, achieving a model like you did here.
You skills, 20 years ago was fantastic. At this stage I did things only half as good as you did.
Thx for sharing this nice oldie!

Regarding the wings - I've read that it's not clear if the wings in the NASM collection actually belong to the specific fuselage. They may be from another aircraft. This may explain the poor fit.

@Dirk: You are lucky to have this one in stash. This was , like all old Dragon Kits not the easyest one, but worth to be build. Pass the decals to the trash can, they are junk.

@ Xenia: Quitting what? Modelling? ZZZ... You are kidding, aint`t you? 🙂
