I like these dry-lakebed staged renders of the x-planes. The props, including the mobile tower, are right at home. Another great job! Nice work on the X-1 as well.

Looks like you had a little problem with your bumps. The star and bar and serial by the hatch. It does happen...beyond that nice job..
