I've got the chines halfway on, so I'm probably too far along to start a build report. The chines have been the most frustrating part so far; the internal formers just didn't seem to work. I'm sure I'm the problem. Probably my own impatience, or the fact I shrunk the model to 1/48th.
It seems all the X-15s out there that I'm aware of -- Ken's, Henry Yuen's, the one at Fiddlers Green -- have you build the fuselage then add the chines. Ken's fuselage "chunks" (the individual fuselage sections, glued end-to-end) came out well and it made me wonder why some designer doesn't just add the chine sections to the "chunks," and have you assemble the model that way.
Then again, I'm not a designer....
