Our pilot will now be safe. I made this styrene part to separate the cockpit from the rest of the plane!

Good luck, it's a dreadful kit.

Hello, before I start it I want to copy the engines. This I plan to make a silicone mold and cast resin to it. While it is not accurate representation of the X-3 engines this will be another challenge to overcome 😀
Also, the cockpit is almost empty. I will try to scratch build it. Let's go!!!!

I wouldn't spend too much time on the cockpit as you won't be able to see much though the bottle bottom windows. I would recommend that if you are intending to use a pilot, replace the kit one. Yours looks to be better moulded than mine (the shapeless blob on the right) It's huge. I replaced it with a more accurately scaled Tamiya MiG-15 pilot.

I added some photos with my thoughts on the model. Indeed, the cockpit shouldn't be my only concern. And indeed the pilot looks huge!!!

This kit may have been acceptable for the 1950's but it's dreadful by current standards.

I love building kits like this - surprised it's not in my stash, booking my seat.
