1/700 Bell X-1 with B-50D Mothership

This model is in 1/700 scale. It includes two Bell X-1 aircraft, one attached as a sprue to be used seperately, and one being transported by the B-50D bomber Mothership. There is only one wire connecting the sprue which can be cut to show the two seperate models.

According to Wikipedia: "The Bell X-1, designated originally as XS-1, was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by the Bell Aircraft Company. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built during 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h; 870 kn) during 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h; 1,400 kn) during 1954. The X-1 was the first airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the so-called X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret."
