Album info

Built quite a long time ago (1990). Painted with my own mixes of Humbrol Metalcote ennamel (see painting schemes).
Mods :
Detailed cockpit : new instrument panel from scratch, bang seats modified to earlier model, DSO panel modified, and side consoles added from scratch. Detailed undecarriage. Drilled gun muzzles. Decals from Microscale sheet 72-470, IPMS USA, & Letraset dry transfers.
It took me about 50 hours to finish .... most of that time was spent trying to get a reallistic bare metal finnish. At that 'ancient' times no internet was available (at least not to me) ... so most of the information came from these books and magazines :
Aerofax 4 which is a MUST to any B-58 freak.
Aero Series book was also very helpful.
Fanatique de l'Aviation.
Air Enthusiast 34.
Scale Aircraft Modelling issues 8/5 (Feb 1986) & 7/14 (Jan 1985).
Scale Models Nov 1985.
