I started a vac-form X-24B a while ago and it finally rolled out of the paint shop.  This was an Eagle’s Talon 1/72 Vac-form kit that’s been in my stash for 30 years.

For those interested in the increasingly esoteric art of vac-form modeling, the Eagles Talon range is among the best, in my opinion.  The kit actually provides vac-plastic for both the X-24A and X-24B, but I chose to do the “B” model first (the “A” is on the bench).   Paint is rattle can Tamiya Pure White and French Blue.  Kit decals.

An enjoyable build.
