Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 - Forward-Swept Wing Scale Project

The Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 model kit gives modellers a close look at one of the most unusual jet designs. Famous for its forward-swept wings, the X-29 was an experimental aircraft from the 1980s that tested advanced aerodynamics. This kit lets hobbyists recreate the aircraft with careful detail and accurate moulding.

Engineering Background and Iconic Lines

The full-size X-29 used composite structure and fly-by-wire controls to manage stability. Only two prototypes were built, but they had a lasting influence on research aircraft. The model captures the slim fuselage and distinctive wing planform so you can display an authentic representation.

Assembly Notes for Modellers

Putting together the Hasegawa 1/72 B13 X-29 calls for patience and some modelling skill. The kit contains well-detailed polystyrene parts that require glue and painting. With careful work the finished model makes an accurate addition to any 1/72 collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

This kit is aimed at intermediate modellers. The fine parts and alignment of the forward-swept wings benefit from prior assembly experience and steady handling.
Yes, the release includes decals to recreate the X-29 markings shown on the box art. Apply them after painting and clear coating for best results.
Use polystyrene cement or thin CA for joins, and acrylic or enamel model paints. Test fit parts before gluing, especially wing roots and canopy area.
