Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

1/48 Monogram B-58 Hustler - SEA RFI


Recommended Posts

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.

Menacing lil aircraft , interesting scheme ! 

Be a lot of napalm in that drop canister ! 

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