This one has sat half built for months, finally got around to it.So, I liked the look of the B-58C drawings but I always thought it was a bit on the small side, so i made it approximately 1/3rd bigger, this allows for a more conventional seating arrangement for the crew. I also decided to change the massive fin for a couple of smaller v-tail units, moved the inboard engines backwards a bit and generally added my own touches.
So with all that out of the way, the minor issues; for some reason (probably mass and weight related) the drop tank can bounce around a bit when agressively manovering, it doesnt break or fall off so all good right? Also once the bomb has been released the CofG moves rearward so it becomes very manoverable, i did try to counter this in the normal manner with a piston and moving ballast but this lead to an ossicilation which shook it to bits, so just have fun with it =)

@QuickNils I do try :) when I have the inspiration it's hard to not work on them, this one though I started a long time ago.
