The decals I need are for the wings. This one is 3 1/2 so the B-25 decals will be ordered today.

The Skystreak first flew in 1947 and preceded the X planes. The BARRIER they were trying to break was the sound barrier. I know of no speed barriers.

David, pictures of your model should probably go in this wonderful collection when you're done : http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/gallery/photo/D-558-1/. What an amazing period in aviation, development was moving so quickly...

Thanks, James. Great site!

However, the Skystreak performed an important role in aeronautical research by flying for extended periods of time at transonic speeds, which freed the X-1 to fly for limited periods at supersonic speeds.
