We present an extremely detailed plastic model kit AZ Model AZ7681 depicting the Bell X-2 "Starbuster," produced in the popular 1/72 scale. This model is a faithful miniature of the American experimental rocket plane from the 1950s, which has gone down in aviation history as one of the pioneers in research into hypersonic flight.

Historical Information about Bell X-2 "Starbuster"

The Bell X-2 was a highly specialized experimental aircraft designed and built by Bell Aircraft for the United States Air Force and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, now NASA). Its first flight took place in 1955, and the program lasted until 1956. The main goal of the program was to research aircraft behavior at transonic and supersonic speeds, particularly above Mach 2 and even Mach 3. The Bell X-2 was used exclusively by the United States during the Cold War period. The most spectacular achievement was recorded on September 27, 1956, when pilot Milburn G. Apt exceeded Mach 3. The aircraft participated in a series of tests that led to the development of later experimental and combat aircraft.
