I want one of these. Does anyone make a kit in 1/72?

Re: NASA X-59
I wish sometimes I had a printer. No clue how to use one, I have a younger brother who is a retired mold maker for a plastic injection mold company and he does the printing thing. He's retired and into model trains, prints his own stuff. I was a lowly weldor-fabricator for 42 years, never got into the high tech stuff.

There's a paper desktop model....

And apparently there's a 1/100 3D printable version.

Re: NASA X-59
Thanks....cool idea, whats 1/64 scale? Sounds like an old box scale of Revell's from the 50s.

Re: NASA X-59
Not just Revell; Lindberg used to use it, notably for their kit of the B-58 Hustler. Not a bad kit, though the "working" retractable undercarriage was a nightmare second only to that of the 1/72 Revell F-111; it worked, but would not stay up! I often wondered if it would stay down or did the model suffer from continual u/c collapses? It was just too loose in the complex joints with no secure locking in either position. Other than the gear, the model looked the part -- huge delta wing, the Hustler's peculiarly area-ruled fuselage and the great big weapons pod... Couldn't have been anything else.
