T O P I C R E V I E WcspgSpotted this model today on the Flying Mule website: AF-X XP10001North American X-15A Display ModelNASA/USAF, #56-6672 Little Joe The II, Edwards AFB, CA Limited Edition1:72 Scale North American X-15ALength 8.25" Width 3.75" David CI have this on order and I'll be making corrections when it arrives.cspgAside from the cockpit which looks strange, what other corrections are you planning to make?David CYeah, the canopy looks odd. I'll know more when I eventually get it in my hand (hope it doesn't get stuck in the Christmas mail). As a minimum the aft experiment package is incorrectly shaped and the lower ventral fin needs to be removed. Possibly the under wing insignia need to be removed, APU exhausts fitted and the bright silver nose toned down.cycleroadie1/67th scale? Who thought that up? David CSomeone that can't measure? Wish I'd read the Mule's ad before pulling the trigger (I ordered elsewhere). 1/72 is good, 1/67, not so.Robert PearlmanThe Flying Mule updated its listing since this post was created; it originally read 1:72. A quick search shows other retailers listing 1:72 scale, too.cspg quote:Originally posted by cycleroadie:1/67th scale? Who thought that up? The Flying Mule. The product page still says:Please note: Although the box for this model identifies it as 1:72 scale, the actual model dimensions are larger and much closer to 1:67 scale.JLR1I ordered one and it arrived today. I am impressed with the quality of the resin model. It is a very solid model, with a stand that has a rotating head, and looks great displayed. I would recommend.cspgThe X-15A is 1,545 centimers long; the model is about 23 centimers. Divide the two and you get a scale of 1:67.
