KIT 5862 85586200200

The Bell® X-1™ (experimental super­sonic) was built specifically to probe the
regime of supersonic flight. Measuring
only 31 feet in length, the X-1 was a sin­gle-seat design powered by a four-cham­bered rocket motor that was fueled by a
volatile mixture of alcohol and liquid oxy­gen. It was designed to be carried aloft
in the belly of a B-29 Superfortress and
launched in free fall for its assault on the
sound barrier. On October 14th 1947 his­tory was achieved when at an altitude of
42,000 in level flight the X-1 accelerated
to Mach 1.07 and shattered the peaceful

day with the rumble of the world’s first

sonic boom created by a manned aircraft.
Your Revell model features a fully
detailed cockpit with optional seated pilot
figure, rocket engine and optional open
or closed cockpit door and decals with
authentic markings for four versions.

* Study the assembly drawings.
* Each plastic part is identified by a number.
* In the assembly drawings, some parts will be

marked by a star (★) to indicate chrome
plated plastic.

* For better paint and decal adhesion, wash

the plastic parts in a mild detergent solution.
Rinse and let air dry.

* Check the fit of each piece before

cementing in place.
* Use only cement for polystyrene plastic.
* Scrape plating and paint from areas

to be cemented.
* Allow paint to dry thoroughly before

handling parts.
* Any unused parts may be discarded.

DECAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut desired decal from sheet.

2. Dip decal in water for a few seconds.

3. Place wet decal on paper towel.

4. Wait until decal is movable on paper backing.

5. Place decal in position on model, face up and

slide backing away.

6. Press out air bubbles with a soft damp cloth.

7. Milkiness that may appear is for better decal

adhesion and will dry clear. Wipe away any

excess adhesive.

8. Do not touch decal until fully dry.

9. Allow the decals 48 hours to dry before

applying clear coat.

NOTE: Decals are compatible with

setting solutions or solvents.

* Etudier les schémas de montage.
* Chaque pièce en plastique est identifiée par un numéro.
* Sur les schémas de montage, certaines pièces sont

marquées d'une étoile (★) pour indiquer qu'elles sont en
plastique chromé.

* Pour une meilleure prise de la peinture et des autocollants,

laver les pièces en plastique avec une solution détergente
peu concentrée. Les rincer et les laisser sécher à l'air.

* Vérifier que chaque pièce s'ajuste bien avant

de la coller en place.
* N'utiliser que de la colle pour polystyrène.
* Gratter les parties à coller pour enlever le chrome et la peinture.
* Laisser la peinture bien sécher avant de manipuler les pièces.
* Toute pièce inutilisée peut être jetée.
