Some pictures of other x-craft models. These pictures were taken by Ramesh (Wheelerdealer) at Norwich submarine day in 2008.

what about the other xcraft

does anyone out there have good pictures of the boat at Duxford, I know it is an x-51, and looks much different, but I have the OTW kit, and need some more info. I would love to go out and photograph it in really exacting detail, but I cant with my school schedule, not to mention, i live near Washington D.C..

thanks otherdave
