FG B-52-X-15 Mothership

**richkat** · #1 07-19-2013, 09:02 PM

Just got the Fiddlers Green B-52, wanted to build the X-15 launch plane, but it has no wing cut-out (that I can do) but also no X-15 pylon! Has anyone designed the wing pylon to carry the X-15 for the FG B-52?....HELP!.......Rich

I did a real simple one when I built mine a few years back. I think I printed an extra wing sheet, and used the colored material to make the pylon. I looked at some photos and shaped the paper to match as best I could. I can't find any pictures of it though. Sorry.

Space-modelers group at yahoo has a folder with articles and drawings of the pylon and the wing section for the X-15. I will access it later tonight if you need details. Also www.ninfinger.org will have a section dealing with X-15 and the NB52 mothership.

Rich,
I just read your post this morning. I have the notched wing, pylon, and other mods for the FG NB-52, I have corrected the marking and such. PM me.

Hello everyone,
For those that want them, besides the guys that PM'd already I will be happy to share the updated NB-52 files. I am going back thru them now, and making sure they are all ready to go. Will be sending them out soon.

Jeff, if still available could I have a copy of the NB-52 updated files? Thanks for making them available,
