That's magnificent Tony. Details???
Does the kit come with the modified trailing edge flap to accommodate the X-15 tail, or did you have to cut it out yourself ?

Just posted a bit about this in the completed models thread.

and these are required reading if you like your X-planes.

The Jay Miller book needs an update as we are up to X-56 but still a lovely book.

For those into the "Bull", I highly recommend the following reading:

Get the X-15 Scrapbook as well.

Milt Thompson's X-15 book is brilliant!

I've also read Scott Crossfield's autobiography "Always another Dawn". Bizarrely enough I was reading this when he died in a C210. I read Bob White's biography as well - not as great a read, even though his achievements are legendary!

There is a incredible DVD set out that covers most of the X-15 launches, plus other archival footage - there is nothing like watching the Bull being launched!
