The X-42 (1/48 scale) and X-15A-3 (1/40 scale) display models, nearing completion. They have been decaled and glosscoated; a little bit more surface work and some matte coating (Lesson Learned: matte coatings have added solventy goodness in them that can *eat* decals, so gloss coat ’em first) , and they’ll be good to go. The stands shown are also not the final stands, but are, err, stand-ins. Still, I thought they looked sufficiently neato that I wanted to gloat a little bit.
When these are done and out the door, I can take orders for more of the X-15A-3’s. Be advised, they are hand made in the USA by yours truly, not stamped out by Asian slave labor, so they’re a bit costy compared to those “genuine Philipine mahogany” wonders you see on ebay. Also unlike those craptacular Asian models, these will be made in *very* low numbers. I’d be astonished if I got to a dozen of any particular model.
Also: here they are next to a 1/24 X-20 Dyna Soar model I started quite some time back and set aside. YOU WANT THIS TOO.

sweet x42
Very nice work.
Nice work Scott. I now have a job that provides me the means to purchase these models (after being unemployed for most of 2010). Please let me know what you want for the models, and I’ll buy them from you. If you have a model of the X-37 OTV, I’d like to have that too. Thanks.

Scott, is the X-42 the “pop-up upper stage”, the winged vehicle, or both?
