Here's a picture of the A2 and A3 in the NAA office.

Do you have a price for the 1/5th scale X-15A2? Thanks.

My goal is to have it look like the Aviagraphica cutaway drawing.

I'm working on a X-15 pilot figure to go with the model.

I have some of the really neat 1/144th scale X-Plane models that were made by Kay Industries and manufactured for a short time around 2002-2003. The X-15A-2 is impressive. The first wave included six models, a X-1, X-3, X-4, X-5, X-15A-2 and the X-24A.

The set of six models is $120. Here's a picture of the set:

WOW... I have that set (though not boxed)... think I paid $29.99 for it in 2002.... Sure wish I'd kept 'em boxed now!

I'm going to open a set so I can take close-up pics of the models, then I'll put the opened set on ebay.

The X-15A-2 is really nice especially considering these originally sold for $3.99. Maybe that's why they aren't made anymore!

I put the X-Planes X-15A-2 1/144 scale model on ebay, no reserve, opening bid, $.01, no bids so far so if you want to get this model in a unopened mint condition, go check it out, I have five close-up shots that show the fine details like engraved panel lines.

I've found the type of base used for the NAA inhouse X-15A-3 delta wing concept model. It's the same used on other NAA inhouse models such as this NF-107 model.

Are you able to make a NAA replica stand for the Topping X-15?
