ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
For the sequel to his 2000 hit
"X-Men," director Bryan Singer made several "upgrades" to his
original cinematic interpretation of the classic Marvel comic book -- not
the least of which was the hero's private aircraft, the X-Jet.
Although still obviously based on an Air Force SR-71 "Blackbird," this new
X-Jet was considerably sleeker and stealthier than its forward-swept-wing
predecessor. The X-Jet is notable not only for its speed and maneuverability, but also for its advanced VTOL capabilities. Also, unlike a standard two-man SR-71, the X-Jet has been modified to carry more than a half-dozen. |
This "table top" model of the X-Men X-Jet was released in October 2008 by Fantastic Plastic Models. Patterned by Scott Lowther and cast by Acme Design, Inc., the kit featured the plane in its "in-flight" configuration. For kit pricing and availability, please CLICK HERE. This kit was built from an original issue. |
