Nice one! it was a Nasa test airplane on the forward swept wing. nice airplane. nice kit
This is one of the easyest kits to build, with a good looking, nicely detailed outside, and with a nice cockpit. you can build it with open or closed canopy, and this is from the standard high quality hasegawa line. Its not a fighter, nor a rare airplane. but it had its place in history. it proved the higher manouverability and lower stall speed of the forward swept wing, but also shown how hard it is to prevent wing twist. as a model, nice details, but the decals are only for one of the 2 prototypes. Still a nice curiosity to have on the shelf, so that some smart guys laugh saying that you glued the wings backwards...
I only wish it came in 1/48 scale
This is a very good kit, but it may be a little challenging for newer builders. The build is simple and the model goes together quickly and easily, though in this scale there are a lot of little parts. It has all engraved panel lines - which are a bit shallow - but it builds to a really nice finished plane. If you combine this kit with some Hasegawa weapons sets you can do a really nice what if combat loaded X-29 to F-29. That's how I chose to build it up.
Shame this is the only game in town
Although simplistic, the kit has nice clean panel lines and no flash (as you would come to expect). The cockpit has minimal detail, and would benefit from added detailing, especially since the kit does come with a ladder and crew figure. If you want a nice model of this interesting subject, this is the (only) way to go. Being modified from the F-5/F-20 there are numerous what if projects you can build with the base kit and additional weapons and decals.
