1/48 X-29 from Freedom model F-20


Recommended Posts

There was an article in Fine Scale Modeler many years ago (mid 80s) about kitbashing and scratchbuilding an X-29 in 1/48, maybe someone has a copy or a link?

 

edit: May 1986 issue, here’s one on evilBay

The forward fuselage of the X-29s were taken from F-5As, so the Kinetic Freedom Fighter would be a better starting point than the F-20.

 

 

The X-29 also had the F-5A type canopy not present in the F-20 kit. Obviously it would be easier to convert the aft fuselage from an F-20 kit? Maybe you can find an Monogram kit for inexpensive?

 

Cheers,
