Hasegawa 00243 B13 X-29 1/72 Scale Collector Kit  [HA-00243]

Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 - Scale Kit of an Experimental Fighter

The Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 model kit represents the distinctive forward-swept wing research jet. Developed in the 1980s to trial advanced aerodynamics, the X-29 remains an intriguing subject for modellers. This kit provides the parts needed to build a faithful small-scale example.

Historical Context and Tech Highlights

Featuring composite structures and a fly-by-wire flight control system, the X-29 was an experimental test programme with only two flying prototypes. The model reproduces the aircrafts unique wing plan and tapered fuselage so modellers can display a compact but accurate replica.

Hints for a Successful Finish

Assembly requires moderate modelling skills, with detailed polystyrene components that benefit from precise gluing and painting. Tidy seam work and careful decal application will produce the best display result for this 1/72 subject.
