The Hasegawa 02475 1/72 X-29 model offers a compact but accurate representation of an icon of flight testing. Its forward-swept wing form and canard controls are rendered to convey the experimental nature of the original aircraft.
Produced by Grumman for NASA and the US Air Force during the 1980s, the X-29 trials explored forward-swept wing benefits and structural trade-offs. Even with only a few flying prototypes, the findings informed later approaches to flight control and composite construction.
This Hasegawa kit balances crisp surface detail with manageable assembly in 1/72 scale. It suits modellers who prefer neat seam lines, careful painting and straightforward finishing to produce a museum-style miniature.
