I think the X-3 only looked fast. It lacked suitable engines

It is a fun airplane to see

Did you notice how limited the forward visibility is out of the cockpit?

I think it must have been a pig to fly with those itty-bitty wings and not enough power BUT it's still one of my all-time coolest looking planes...

despite its poor performance,.. it always looked very sexy to me, certainly one of my favorite x-planes

Big thanks, Gary.
You are faster than X-3
And, what about this theme in red?
The Douglas D-558 Skystreak.

There is a Skystreak at the aviation museum at Charlette NC. back side of the airport. You can see some of their goodies when taxi and landing.
Gary, would love to see a Gulfstream 1 G-159 come off your board.

Nice Gary. Excellent model, excellent subject!

Any chance of you doing a series based on all the X- planes?
