Near 1/72 scale Convair B-58 Hustler
« on: February 19, 2010, 09:10:26 AM »
Hi mates,  :-salut :-salut :-salut

Here is a kit of Lindberg (1967) in 1/66 scale.
This is the B-58 Hustler. I built it in 1982.



Without the ventral pod :








There are many inaccurate details but it was the only (with rare 1/77 scale Aurora's one) to be near the 1/72 scale until the edition of Italeri's.

Cheers,
Jicehem    :-wave
