David H Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Beautiful Job, Al. Your brilliant execution is the reason why people are drawn to the B-58, despite the bare metal finish, the engine pods, the monkey-wire undercarriage, and the awkward size issues. The extra open cockpits and the Fisher intakes do wonders for the looks of the aeroplane. Pity they weren't around longer, but fact is it was sort of an impractical weapon system with much lower dispatch reliability than a B-52, and MUCH more dependent on tanker support. The B-58 is a jet with a "Cult" following, and i'm definitely one of its members. Thanks for posting. WELL DONE. All the Best, david, Still building the Monogram B-58 in his head.

eng Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Flippin 'eck Al!! I've been following your build but,... damn that is wicked, it just looks awesome in the side on pic, what a monster of a jet. You certainly should be proud of that one, the NMF is stunning, absolutely 1st class and worth all the trouble I bet. Shweeet!!! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Bradshaw Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Al, Made it through your build article for this kit - very instructive and inspirational stuff mate. It has come out beautifully. I do like the Hustler, and this 1/48 kit has been on my 'wants' list for just about forever. Thank you for sharing this build with us all.

Angels49 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Ok......now that I'm sufficiently recovered from the initial shock.....I can say I'm totally . I think I'll just pack up what I've got done and give it to some deserving soul. It's obvious that I'm in the wrong hobby..I'll never achieve those results.. OUTSTANDING JOB....Al if you fly'em as well as you build'em I'll fly to the Andromeda Galaxy and beyond with ya!!!
