KursadA Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) CD48059 will be a very comprehensive set for the Monogram 1/48 B-58 Hustler. I love the B-58, and it is time it is featured in a Caracal sheet. Currently nearing completion, I will post more information as I make progress. Coming in early March if everything goes according to plan. Edited December 30, 2013 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Very cool! I'm tired of trying to find a Fox One sheet for a reasonable price. Now I'll sit back and watch eBay get flooded with sheets as this announcement makes it around the community...too late I'm buying from Kursad!

KursadA Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Very cool! I'm tired of trying to find a Fox One sheet for a reasonable price. I know; having shelled out $90+ last week to get my own copy for competitive analysis. There will be very little overlap between the two sets though; there has been some excellent material published over the last ten years and I want the sheet to be very different from what is already out there.

Vince Maddux Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I've been planning on drawing a B-58, I know a guy in CAP that was a crew chief on 59-2450 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog 09 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sign me up for a sheet right now. I am in the process of building a Hustler for a local museum here in Ft. Worth. Quick question on the sheet, will it contain any Carswell based B-58's? Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I will announce the schemes only after I finish the design in a week or so - you can assume that most of the prominent units and schemes will be represented. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This in addition to the metal pitot...can't complain too much about the unannounced twomikes resin update, that had been in the works for a while before they went on a hiatus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wonderful news! The old Fox One sheet cost me $45....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow, interesting choice of subject Kursad. You never cease to amaze me with what you pick for subjects. Now I am torn though. I have the Fox One sheet as well as the Mike Grant sheet. I only have one Monogram kit which I figure is enough, that plus my display case cannot even fit this kit. I guess I will wait and see what you pick for subjects before I decide to purge my decal sets. Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supacruze Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Please seriously consider adding the the XB-70 chase aircraft, which was a TB-58, and make this sheet available in 1/72 as well. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 It looks like the 1/72 Italeri kit is readily available, so I will release this in 1/72 as well. Was this kit re-released relatively recently? I was surprised that it is easily available, I thought it was a somewhat rare kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

supacruze Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) 1/72, great news, just make sure the chase plane is on it. ;) Edited January 5, 2014 by supacruze Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The B-58 along with the F-104 are simply two of the best looking jets ever to grace the skies... Looking forward to this sheet :) Hitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have finally cleared the shipping backlog for last month's orders, and got back to working on this sheet and other March releases. Now that the weather is a bit warmer, I plan to trek to San Antonio to take some photos of the B-58 displayed there. There are hardly any original markings or paint left on it, but I want to see a B-58 up close for the first time, and take some photos to confirm some dimensions.

Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Don't forget the Galveston Flight Museum bird. It's a bit rough but it might be helpful. I have a few photos from Wright-Pat if you want them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonanza27 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I know your research is extensive, but if you are not familiar with the site at Jet Pilot Overseas you should take a look, google it and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click onto the B-58 section. Some really nice detail shots and lots of named aircraft. My guess is that you already utilize this site, but if not than…. Looking forward to this sheet and of course more decals!

KursadA Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks - I already used the photos from Jet Pilot Overseas in several projects, and have downloaded all of their B-58 photos when I started this project back in October. The relatively recently released Lockheed-Martin photo collection at the University of North Texas has many excellent photos, too.

Scott R Wilson Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't forget the Galveston Flight Museum bird. It's a bit rough but it might be helpful. I have a few photos from Wright-Pat if you want them. It hasn't been in Galveston for several years . Not long after the hurricane the USAF took the Hustler back and put it on display at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
