Recently acquired the B-52 and B-29 and modified them to obtain this setup. Boy was it hard gluing the wheel doors on the X-1... whew!

Great stuff as this year we'll be celebrating 60 years X-15 program and 50 years since it ended...

It is a Corgi 1/144 diecast that comes with a plastic X-15. I substituted the much nicer Dragon models for mating to this and B-29. The B-52 is really very nice!
