Hasegawa 02475 1/72 NASA X-29 Scale Model - Experimental Jet Kit  [HA-02475]

Study the X-29 in 1/72 scale with this Hasegawa kit

The Hasegawa 02475 X-29 model in 1/72 scale lets modellers examine a rare experimental shape from aerospace history. The forward-swept wing and canard arrangement made the X-29 a standout research platform, and this kit recreates those angles cleanly at small scale.

Context and impact of the X-29 project

Built by Grumman for NASA and the US Air Force, the X-29 trials in the 1980s tested handling and structural concepts linked to forward-swept wings. While prototypes were limited in number, the project supplied useful lessons on control systems and materials under high stress.

Assembly experience and presentation tips

This Hasegawa release balances fine surface detail with straightforward construction. At 1/72 scale the model is compact for shelf displays, yet offers rewarding assembly and painting opportunities for those who enjoy tidy seam work and weathering to show off panel lines.
