Bob Moore Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Hi All, Here's some pic's of an on going project of mine, I've been working on it for about a year off and on, I'm going to rescribe the model and I think I'll use Alclad II although, I do like the way those models that use kitchen foil look, I'm just not sure about applying it, I would also like to make an MB-1 Pod for it.

StyrenePilot1970 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Looks great so far, Bob! I love the B-58! Sexy as hell!! What cockpits did you use for the other two pits? I have the Engines and Things Update - If that is them, my hat is definitely off to you!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingSnowmew Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Amazing looking B-58! What detail sets did you use in the cockpit? They look amazing! I love B-58s! They are sexy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Nice start to your B-58. Always interested in seeing the Hustler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Engines and Things Update - If that is them, my hat is definitely off to you!! Well it's a combination of E&T, Golden Dragon and a little scratchbuilding, most of the GD set is unusable in my opinion, there are a few things that you can use, this B-58 kit has been around so long I'm surprised no one has made a good cockpit set for it, I do remember a looong time ago at a Nat. Conv. I was talking to one of the resin companies (I don't remember who) and they said they were going to make one, well I haven't seen one yet, I've even toyed with the idea of taking it apart and selling as a master.

Chris Kethan Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Great job , Bob! That cockpit is sweet. I've got one of these as well. I have rescribed about half of it. I have come to the conclusion that rescribing kits is my least favorite modeling chore. I really don't like it. I also want to try and finish mine with foil. If you want some inspiration to finish yours with foil, look at the stunning example in the Gallery. Amazing... Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Bob, that B-58 looks incredible. I've been working on a Huslter too (orignial issue)on and off for a year and I used the E&T cockpit also and it did not come out anywhere near that good. Plus it caused severe misalingment of the forward fuselage halves that I'm still sanding and filling, and sanding and filling. After seeing this one, I feel like throwing mine in the creek.
