1/48 D30 Strombecker Bell X-1B Supersonic Rocket
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Strombecker was very well known for producing the finest pre-carved hardwood aircraft, missile & ship kits, but they also made a very short journey into the field of plastic models. Strombecker cut a total of 5 molds for injected-molded aircraft kits; the 1956 Sea Dart being the first. All were discontinued in the mid 1960s. One such model is this big 1/48 scale Bell X-1B. There were two releases; this is the rarer of the two with the pilot bust molded into the fuselage. Kit features raised surface detail, full landing gear, clear canopy and more. Includes a display stand, full instructions with three photos of the actual aircraft, full color decals, small Strombecker kit catalog and an application for the Strombecker Model-Makers Club. Never started. The model has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.
