North American Aviation - X 15 - 1:33 - GELI

[Styrian Spitfire]

Hello !

As part of the next craft days in Wettmannstätten I will once again cut a GELI flier after a long break.

It will be the X15. The bow is a bit older, he is still awarded Schilling prize. At the time, the purchase price was 14.90 schillings, which would be around 1.10 € today.

A box for frames and 1 3/4 sheets with fairly clean printed parts as well as a construction manual and building sketches are available.
With 66 components, the model is kept very clear .-

Thus, I am looking forward to the nostalgic tinkering on the coming craft days.

Best regards
Kurt

It will be interesting to see how this old and simple kit turns out in your very skilled hands.

Regards.

The markings appear a bit spurious, but it'll be cool to see it built.

Hi Rick Pink65 ,
thank you for informations , but I now it , the constructer off the new GELIS is my friend .

Hi Rubenandres 77 ,
Thank you an welcome .

Hi dhanners ,
this old Card models are very simple , but the built one Looks good !

Hello ,
well then we go for it ...

We start with body part 5 as well as brackets and frames ... ... which are assembled to the first fuselage segment.

Also in part 4 good preliminary rounds are an advantage ... .. to get an appealing result.

Best regards
Kurt

This will be a great build to watch.

Gelis are so nice, so attractive, so easy to build and the results so beautiful. Cheap, simple, and with a great history being the first 1/33 card model airplanes ever printed beginning in 1954!! We are so glad they are again available. Good luck with your X-15. It should come out very beautiful.

Nice looking so far, Kurt. Good to see your work again. I check out your B-17 often for inspiration!

Hello GELI fans,

I am pleased to have you in the construction of the X15.

The hull grows slowly - pointed and rear torso part

Minor fitting problems exist in the rear area.

Hello !

Parts 8, for the engine exhaust ... give a stable foot stand.

The rear end is reached - the front side cover.

The next craft day it continues here ....

Best regards
Kurt
