Modelers Corner

This is an old Lindberg B-58 Hustler kit I found at a closeout store. Instead of a convemtional 'silver' paint job I went with a South East Asia scheme. I know it's fictious but it's one of those 'what could have been' if the USAF had commited the Hustler to action during the Vietnam war.

Winter has started to turn to spring around here and I've been able to paint the boat out in the garage. I've applied 2 1/2 oz of enamel paint and have sanded off about half that amount...but it's getting a very smooth surface so I'm very pleased with the results.

This boat is going have drum steering...these five discs just need to have paint and a hole for the shaft.

I`m still waiting/hoping one of you talented A/K modelers are going for the super adventurous task of building a detailed Howard Hugh`s: "Spruce Goose", preferably from balsa wood scratch. ;)

That would be something to see, no matter the reasonable resultant scale ! :bowdown:

But it has to fly at least once.
