thegoodsgt Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Truly outstanding painting and weathering by Rod Bettencourt today on the venerable old Monogram B-58 Hustler. It's rare to see a NMF pulled off with this degree of realism. Thanks for sharing this model with us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 No...no...no...You should ban this guy for cheating. He is posting photos of the real aircraft instead of a model...sorry to good to be true...(...my God is fantastic...)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waylandcool Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 That is an awesome NMF job on that kit. B) It really does look exactly like the real thing. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huntermountain Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fantastic model of an extremely nice plane. I didn't really know this plane, but now it goes on my 'to build' list. Not that I'll achieve the same standard, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modeler85 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Truly an amazing finish the B-58. I also thought it was the real thing. I hope mine will turn out that good someday. Excellent model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I am totally blown away by this model. I had to do a double and triple take to make sure I wasn't looking at photos of the real thing. Stunning build Rod. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wege Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy345/r...court/16b58.jpg is a nice touch even as realistic as the plane looks, I think that the biggest 'tell' that your B58 is not real is that you cannot get your camera close enough to the ground: IE adult male height. It still sets standards - all that detail just waiting to be noticed... golly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
