... take one Monogram X.15A.2, an Esci F.15A's ASAT. missile (a resin copy) and ...

... oops, just a thought, is the Smithsonian's X.15 (as referenced in the novel!) the short fuselaged version as opposed to the X.15A2 in the Monogram kit ??? ...

(ref. Scale Aircraft Modelling, Vl.29 No.3, May 2007)

... hmm..does anyone know of a source for the new 'USAF.' 'winged type insignia' would look different on current US. 'what-if' types ?

yip i did it as a display model in Halfords Matt Black with a mainly white ASAT. and no markings other than a red serial on the tail as per the books description, looked prtetty sinister indeed and the author i passed it over to was pretty chuffed with it too as being something different for his desk  :wacko:

ill see how i get on with the biggie, might do it as a lunchtime build at work as a break from 1st year students  :banghead:

If you want to save time on your 1/32nd scale ASAT you can try to locate the Revell F-15B/D/E Eagle/Strike Eagle kit which included the ASM-132 ASAT missile with the launcher adapter pylon.
