1/48 Monogram B-58 Hustler - SEA RFI

[CANicoll]

RFI IF you don't get too close!  The main purpose of this build was to see what a Hustler would look like in Southeast Asia Camo.  Ended up being a four-color camo scheme, but still an interesting look.  Just don't look TOO close!  Here is the build thread.

Here were the inspirations:

Didn't quite turn out the same, but what the hey.

And the kit decals proved to be quite brittle, even under several clear coats...

Wow Chris! That's a neat looking B-58. Very unusual scheme but really cool!  🙂

Thanks John!  I really like this aircraft and hope a 'modern' kit comes out sometime.

I appreciate it PW and agree.  What a cool aircraft.  Can you imagine the havoc it could have caused in Vietnam??

Wow Chris, looks fantastic!!  Nice job!

[CANicoll]

Thanks Mike!  It was really just a quickie to see how the Camo would turn out.  Looking forward to the next GB.  What are you going to build?

Awesome work! I tip my hat to one terrific build and just love your creative cammo finish - a real show stopper.🏆

Peter, thank you!!!  Very much appreciated.  It is definitely fun to look at.  But, man this is one large plane!!  Heading out to the procedure shortly...
