Hasegawa 00243 B13 X-29 1/72 Scale Build Kit  [HA-00243]

X-29 1/72 by Hasegawa - Experimental Jet Model Overview

This Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 kit presents a striking subject for modellers who enjoy unusual aircraft. The X-29's forward-swept wing layout was developed to probe advanced handling and aero possibilities in the 1980s. The kit provides well-defined components to represent that look faithfully.

Why the X-29 Matters

The full-size X-29 incorporated composite materials and digital fly-by-wire systems to tame its unstable aerodynamics. Only a pair of prototypes flew, yet they added valuable data to aerospace development. The model reflects those design cues, showing the narrow fuselage and distinctive wing sweep.

Tips for a Clean Assembly

Modellers should expect a moderate build time and careful fitting. Parts are crisply moulded in polystyrene and need glue and paint to finish. With deliberate work the assembled X-29 becomes a neat display piece for any historical or experimental aircraft shelf.
