BELL X-1 Diorama with 3D printed Parts & Pilot | Eduard 1/48 scale | Full Build
Watch how I create a unique Bell X-1 model with 3D printed parts and put it in a diorama.
🔥You will find more of my models here: www.youtube.com/@ScalerDan?sub_confirmation=1
============================
In this video, I take you through the step-by-step process of building a stunning 1/48 scale model of the iconic Bell X-1. Known for its groundbreaking achievements in aviation history, the Bell X-1 was the first aircraft to break the sound barrier, piloted by Chuck Yeager in 1947.
The Eduard Profipack Edition (2023 boxing) comes with PE parts, masks and resin wheels which is a good offer for a fair price. Four different versions can be built including the legendary 'Glamorous Glennis'.
Since the original kit is getting a bit old, I focused on additional detailing. For this purpose, I designed my own 3D printable files with Blender and built a lot of things from scratch. A beautiful figure from Corpus and a self-made base complete the project.
Watch as I showcase painting techniques, weathering effects, and tips to achieve a realistic finish that brings this historic aircraft to life in miniature.
Whether you’re an experienced modeler or just starting out, this video is packed with valuable tips and tricks to help you create a unique Bell X-1 model.

This is really pretty! I love dioramas. They're so satisfying to look at. This is very inspiring. I am going to make one with the X-Wing Fighters that I have but I'm going to make a more industrial version inside a Rebel hangar. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us to enjoy!
Thank you very much for this kind comment! It means a lot to me that this diorama is being well received. I also had a rebel hangar in mind for future projects, dirty and packed with a thousand things to keep the eyes busy. We should just get started...Regards ScalerDan
Very nice work. Superlative detail. And the rear facing top turret! 😍
Thank you for watching and commenting! Unfortunately the model has since fallen off the shelf and has sustained some damage. It will probably return in a crash diorama. Regards ScalerDan
Love the orange. Like to think it denotes a Special Escort for Rebel VIP ships.
Thank you for your thoughts on the model. I really like the idea of a special escort. The design stands out too much for a standard fighter. Regards ScalerDan
You are a true artist. I would love to add such detail to my aircraft models. Am a new follower from South Carolina U.S.A.
Thank you for your motivating comment and welcome aboard! Maybe try to improve details in small steps but enjoy the hobby. Regards ScalerDan
Very nice indeed!!
Many thanks! Regards ScalerDan
Really nice build and those are some great droids. I just checked and I have this same kit but also Micro Machines made a bunch of starwars characters in the same scale!!! I have like 150 of them to play with…. My head is spinning with ideas. Haha.
Thank you for your kind words. That sounds like a great collection. I'm already thinking about a new Star Wars diorama but I can't decide which one. B-Wing or Millennium Falcon... luxury problem! Regards ScalerDan
@ I see falcons all over. Maybe the B wing? Something different or less frequent at least. Haha. Great work again on the xwing. I’m off to church then cleaning and organizing my desk before the next build!
How did you apply the decals so well on the checker cowl ?
Thank you for the compliment. As far as I can remember, it went better than expected. I used softener (MicroSol) and made some additional cuts with the hobby knife. The fit of the decals was very good. Regards ScalerDan
@@ScalerDani see that it has already some pre cuts made , will it be enough ? I aim to not damage the decal with hobby knife
@@OdysseyAviation Then try it without cutting. For uneven surfaces, I prefer to adjust the decal with warm water. Only if it cannot be avoided do I carefully cut into it. The softener does the rest. If something does get damaged, the black and white areas can be easily repaired. Good luck!
@@ScalerDan also do you have any techniques on applying seat belts decals on seats without breaking them ? Because mine when i was putting micro sol to try to bend it so it feats the curved area in the seat it broke so I had to separately put the decal .
@@OdysseyAviation As soon as Microsol has taken effect, you should no longer move the decal or exert too much pressure on it. I would first align the decals on the flat surfaces and let them dry slightly. Then carefully use a brush to apply the softener to the areas that should bend around the seat. Press very gently with the brush. It is best to practice with decals that you do not need in another place. Softener is always a gamble...
Looks really good. I'm looking back at some of your other Star Wars builds now. Was this X-wing OK with the thinner you used for the oil paints? I've read that Bandai plastic goes brittle and snaps when exposed to it, and that certainly seemed to be the case on my Y-wing - bits started breaking and falling off a few weeks later.
@@ModelNerd Thank you very much for watching and commenting. I like Bandai but you have to be really careful when using Mr. Hobby like thinners. I try to use as less thinner as possible. It also helps to use a good clear coat before weathering. On the X-wing I could avoid problems but I had a At-At which fell apart after a while. Regards ScalerDan
Great metal paint job!
@@skipschauer5535 Many thanks! The flat clear coat took some shine but i was still learning. Regards ScalerDan
wow 😮 im impressed 👍 so good 💯
@@ShielaMarquez-q7t Thank you for watching and commenting. Regards ScalerDan
Great video! Decalling a racecar model AND removing masking tape from any model are my two most favourite parts in modelling :D
@@petrihiltunen4478 Thank you very much! With the first decals it starts looking like a finished model and removing masking tape with high contrast colours is just satisfying. Regards ScalerDan
Great Job!👍
@@38blaze1212 Thanks for watching. Regards ScalerDan
love the work you make it look so easy
@@viking_zero Thank you for your kind comment. Regards ScalerDan
Amazing! what do you think about the quality of the kit itself?
@randomjack1995 Thank you for your comment. For a late Corsair you don't have much options. HobbyBoss offers a solid kit for a fair price but you will need filler and sanding. The Details are nice and all problems can be solved. I would build it again but expect some extra work. Regards ScalerDan
what a beautyiful build and diorama.. congratulations
Thank you for the kind comment. This motivates me to build another one. Regards ScalerDan
Great job! The style in which Bandai does its instructions takes some time to get used to, but after enough Gundam kits, your brain learns to switch modes. 🤣
Thank you very much! I should build more of these kits, then the brain will work. Regards ScalerDan
Very nice buid, thx a lot for sharing! And of course immediately subscribed after seeing this high grade content :)
@@Xlaminator Thank you very much for your motivating comment and welcome to the channel. Enjoy the content, more will come. Regards ScalerDan
Great job! This iconic, historic aircraft deserves this extra attention. I love using my 3d printer for model building as well but like you said you can get lost doing so.
Thank you for watching and commenting. It's nice that others feel the same way. But I don't want to do without the new technology anymore. At the moment I'm very impressed by the ResKit and Eduard print quality...I'd like to have that at home too. Regards ScalerDan
stop the sucky music, it makes concentrating on video very difficult...
nice build , but real sucky music!! stop the music it make it hard to concentrate on the content of the video
Thank you for your honest feedback! The music thing remains difficult. Some people like music, others don't. I try to keep it quiet in the background to have some noise, but of course it shouldn't be distracting. Regards ScalerDan
Very nice build mate, the weathering was spot on!!
Thank you very much! It's nice that this early work is getting some attention. Regards ScalerDan
Superb work.
Many thanks! Regards ScalerDan
Nice job Dan!!! Can you desing us a Instrument Panel for Revell´s 1/32 scale Bell X-1??? Would be great to see one with the bezels and a hollow space to place some Airscale decals!!!
Thank you for watching and the comment. I responded to your request via Cults. Regards ScalerDan
Amazing work! I love the Base the Rocket exhausts ! You did an amazing job with the Figure!
Thank you for your kind comment. It is very motivating and helps to continue on this path. Regards ScalerDan
Superb work, it looks really authentic. 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad that you like it. Regards ScalerDan
It looks great, you additions most certainly made it look alive and busy.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It's nice when it comes across as intended. Regards ScalerDan
Very well done!
Many thanks! Regards ScalerDan
Well done a really lovely build. Here's me struggling to build the kit out the box and your way on another level
Thank you for the kind words. Please be fair to yourself. Often it is not a question of skills but of how much time you can put into a project. The main thing is that it is fun and does not become frustrating. Weathering is a good way to hide mistakes 🤫. Regards ScalerDan
Very nicely done, beautiful model.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Regards ScalerDan
Great video! Very good upgrades and learned a lot watching and listening. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. I'm very happy that the video is not only entertaining but that you also got something useful out of it. Regards ScalerDan
Fantastic build, I really need to add the X-1 to my stash, and I'll be sure to use your 3D printed parts, they really elevated the kit!
Thank you for your kind words. It would be great to see the parts on another model. Best regards ScalerDan
Enjoy my collection of Jet powered aircraft models. You will find planes from the early Days of leaving the propeller behind to modern Fighter Jets. ua-cam.com/play/PLnh-SozPErfk4xlwr6jLWq7JJDCQNf7RF.html
I like this a lot and did you have the movie 'The Right Stuff' playing in the background during the build?
Thank you very much! To be honest 'The Right Stuff' was exactly what I had in my mind when building the diorama. I love the scenes with the X-1 and the unrestricted climb (and fall) of the F-104...Regards ScalerDan
Great job, nice simple but effective diorama. Can i ask what brand of rivet tool you used? Also the ak makers are such a time saver, i wouldnt be without mine now.
Thank you for watching and commenting. The tool is an original 'Rosie the Riveter' 0.55 mm. Unfortunately the manufacturer died a few years ago and they are no longer available. I have riveting tools from China that work but nothing feels as good in the hand as the original. The AK Markers are great! Regards ScalerDan
Excellent, good Work, the Hellcat is amazing plane. Congratulations from Argentina
@scaler Dan I was curious where you got that stand at ? I would love to have some of those ! Absolutely beautiful build !! The Tamiya P-51B is my favorite kit from Tamiya ! I have a 4th FG on the bench with a 352nd FG one . Also finished a few months ago. 352nd FG one .
Thank you very much for your kind comment. The stand is my own creation and you can get the 3D print file via my Cults. profile. I have created a labeled stand for B and D Mustangs. I hope you have fun building your models and maybe you will find the stands useful. Regards ScalerDan cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/aircraft-stand-for-p-51b-d-mustang
get rid of the stale music and give folks a narrative of how this build went together and was painted.
Thank you for your constructive criticism. This video was one of my first on the channel. In newer videos I use voiceover and I think the quality has improved. How much music or no music will remain a difficult topic...Regards ScalerDan

Where did you get the crew 3d models? Tia
I got the 3D files from thingiverse. Unfortunately I don't have the file name for the droids. It's best to search for starwars, hangar, droids... I also like to use 'Cults.' to find 3D files. Regards ScalerDan
@@ScalerDan thanks for the quick reply
Hello, what kind of paint did you use, brand and color?
Thank you for watching and commenting! The colors used can be found in the top left corner of the video. I mainly used AK Real Colors and Vallejo Acrylics. I also show the problems I had with the chipping medium. Regards ScalerDan
