Hasegawa 1/72 X-29 NASA kit - a concise model of a research classic

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.

How the X-29 influenced aerodynamic study

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.

Build quality and display considerations

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72

Yes, the 1/72 scale is compact enough for standard display cabinets while still showing the unique wing layout clearly.
Instructions include painting guides and decal placement. Using reference photos alongside the sheet helps you match historic test markings accurately.
Small seam lines may benefit from light filling and sanding to achieve a smooth finish before priming and painting.
