This one is a bit of a whoops moment.. I realised I had not got any pictures of the X-1 build.

Nice project. Watch out: the fitting of the canopy is a little bit tricky. Need to add a strip of plastic card at the back (around 1 or 1.2mm) for a proper fitting. My own completed project, of it can help:

Decals are going on.. had to find stars and bars as the eduard ones were very off shade. magnet on top is the one that will go in mothership the other is already embedded in the X-1's spine.
