Auto Credit Based on Allstar's Cold War Challenge
The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight and was developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It carried a nuclear weapon and fuel in a large pod under the fuselage rather than in an internal bomb bay.
I'll start by admitting that the speed is not accurate, but handling, payload and looks are all on point.
Group 1 and VTOL for landing gear
Groups 2-3 drops bombs
Hope you love it as much as I do!

38.8k hypnotoadYea, ok, well, its just brilliant. its sooooooo difficult to get proper a delta to fly right, let alone balance it properly, great job!9.6 years ago

50.4k StingrayBeautiful appearance! We both use similar delta wings for this model (replicas of B58 actual) and mount engines & gear differently. Both methods work, I like how you formed this model.9.7 years ago

39.6k maverickvii@teus good thinking, on this one, plenty of groups to spare but will be helpful for my more complex bombers/fighters9.7 years ago

18.6k TeusThis thing looks really nice! Great detail and nice use of nose cones. It flies really good too! One tip though: Change the input of the VTOL thrusters to 'Brake'. That way you wont have to waste an action group on them.9.7 years ago
