I'm modelling the X-15 with the XLR-11 engine, X-15 with XLR-99 engine and the X-15A-2 (both in white and pink colour schemes. So far I have the XLR-11 variant complete and now working on the XLR-99 variant. Here is the X-15 (66670) with the XLR-11 engines.
I've added a basic hangar, so I can create rendered views with various pieces of equipment surrounding the X-15.
I've started on texturing the cockpit and whilst gathering information, I've found out there was very little space in there. This is the XLR-11 version of the cockpit.
Of course you'll need a B-52 to launch this manned missile:
Some preliminary work on the X-15A-2 (66671), including fuel tanks

Very cool renderings, George. There are not so many people paying attention to the earlier X-15 appearances. They almost always solely focus on the A-2 version which, in my opinion is just a little too long and lacks all the sleek lines of the earlier versions because of those tanks and the incomplete tail. Also, great job on the BUFF!
Thanks :) when I first started this project I was surprised to find out what North Ameripican Aviation did to the original airframes. Pity they never created the delta wing and the twin seat versions. ;)
