Chris Michielssen is doing a build of the Centuri X-24 Bug.

I have just finished a couple new skins for the X-24. Feel free to use them.
If anyone does a repaint of the X-24 skins, please post them in this thread
so they can be located in one place.

Very nice! Thanks.

Nice! Have you built one with the skins to see what the whole thing looks like?

Do you have two canopies in there just for choice?

No I haven't built with them yet, but I plan On doing so as soon as I get some
110 card stock. I just drew them up last week when I was trap inside by a couple rainy days.

Have another idea for a repaint in mind. That's for the next rainy day.

Had some time today. Here is my X-24X-15.
This one will take a little black ink out of your system.

Will start to build these this week.

Enjoy.

Those designs are really cool. I was thinking that the HL-20 would be another good inspiration for a color scheme.

Over the last couple days I have built the X-24 with my skins.
After building them I found a couple mistakes I made in the original drawings.
I have corrected the mistakes, and have posted the corrected ones below.

I just built one with your NASA skins, very cool design. I added a lug to the central engine mount tube and made the nose from cardstock. The little metallic strip of paper is just a doubler for decoration and to cover up a little pucker from the glue joint at the former. Next time I might try gluing a doubler strip on the inside before glueing the former in place.

Thanks for the cool skins!

Wow! GlenP, you have done an outstanding job with my skin.
Thanks for taking the time to build it. Once again you have done a good job.
I like the look of the lunch lug sticking out under the cockpit.
I'll try to pop into this thread every so offing, and post a new X-24 skin.
So far these three were easy to come up with. Now it's a little harder to come up with new skin ideas.
Would like to get some ideas from anyone out there. Pictures would help.

I like the NASA Meatball on those templates. The old HL-20 mock up has the retired NASA Worm and looks more like a Shuttle color scheme (see the wiki link above)

For a retro-style you could try a color scheme inspired by the US Army Air Forces Trainer, that classic airplane the PT-19, could maybe even put two open-cockpit windscreens on it... hmm
