Minor appearance updates to my prior B58 Hustler. In 1963 the Convair-designed Hustler Nuclear Bomber flew non-stop from London to Tokyo using in-flight refueling at an average speed of 938 mph. It did not use an underbelly tank (used in ferry flights) for this world record run. Nuclear payloads were carried internally. This unmodded SP model exceeds 1030 MPH at 23,000 feet, close to actual B58 attack speeds.

50.4k StingrayA saved part, I believe from some beta version. Hard to find, you may copy and re-use mine. I built a slightly faster model of the B58 a month ago , it looked different in details. @JMicah49.6 years ago
