Hello All....

Has anyone built his XB-70 and X-15 kits ? What are your thoughts on those and are they still available ?

Bob

do a search
both are represented here, more than once.
Billy Leliveld has built both I believe.

ecardmodels will be publishing Ken's kits again, when we can sort out his vendor account.
He's been running silent for some time.
Maybe he's working on a Submarine?

Ken's X-15A-2 kit is, simply put, a delight. A little effort goes a long way, and it is a great platform for super-detailing.

I built the 'A-2 and posted this: Ken West's X-15A-2

And I modified the kit to build 66671 in its pre-stretch form: The original X-15-2, 66671....

I've build them both, Ken 's designs always give you an opportunity to find your own solutions for example tabs , but they are very accurate in fitting and have the finest detail, take it slowly and even an adult can build them

Ken's X-15 is one of my favorite models. It went together beautifully and gets mistaken for plastic at IPMS meetings. It's not a beginner's kit, but it's a gem.

I saw this model built up once, and it was plastic! At an IPMS show in Marietta, GA, one of the Marietta club members displayed this model, but built from plastic sheet, rather than paper.
