B-50 with mini Bell X-1

2,357 STT1  6.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on STT1's B-29 Superfortress

The tiny Bell X-1 isn't the best, but it was hard to make it work, look good, and fit inside the plane all at once. Converting the B-29 to a B-50 wasn't all that hard, just a few minor changes to the engines and rudder. AG 1 to release the X-1 and enable its engine. AG 2 for landing parachutes, because this thing can only move where you want it quickly enough when it goes really fast, making landing harder.
