Bomber SIG 2018 sign up here!!!!!!!

[DrSprue]

 I just googled it too Stokesy and man what an awesome plane. It broke some records. Looked up the B-58 Hustler from scalemates, and found the 1/48th Revell 2003 version, which was from their old monogram one in 85. I like Revell (Im covered by those behind me) and I dont think he mentioned who made it? Wow tho, this aircraft was very cool! Here is an excerpt from Revells manual (which was included at SM)! Ahhh, Im in love again! (hehe) I put that one on my wishlist..

I did indeed fail to mention the manufacturer. The only company to make the Hustler in 1/48 was Monogram/Revell. There have been several different boxing's. I'm not sure which one this originally was because I got it for an incredible deal. I got the model for $10. No box no decals. we won't get into the fact that I had to buy the caracal sheet from a seller in Australia. Then 3 or 4 months after I did that caracal decided to re-release the sheets. So I spent way too much money on it because of shipping from Australia.

I am looking for cockpit upgrades in the like right now. I'm also going to get the resin exhaust upgrade for it.

Oh great deal Don. Yea, I got many of my Revells from good deals too. When we add stuff into it, it gets a bit more in price but cool to do! My Hurricane Im still working on is from Monogram/Revell too and it cost me 99 cents here in the states back in the 90's. No deal tho, the Yahu display panel and squadron cockpit glass I just got added 20 bucks to that deal, but that is the price of getting a good initial deal and having fun.

Dr, I dont mind springing for after market stuff so much if I paid peanuts for the model. Its when you pay 40.00 or more and then add another 40 or 50 in stuff that it gets painful. LOL

I find if I put the expensive kit away in the stash cupboard for a couple years, it matures properly to the point where I have forgotten how much I paid for it and thus spending more on aftermarket now, when I am ready to build it, makes logic sense.
I think that makes me senile

[DrSprue]

so true!!

[Twokidsnosleep]

Thanks for the invite ! I'm in !!
Hope I finish it in time !

Here's my project for my first SIG and first bomber ever. Will surely add a bit of extras ; for sure wheels and propellers and may be the BIG ED kit. I'll take that project as a practice run for an another bomber I have in my stash with tons of aftermarket. Sorry for the paws of my dog in the picture !

Lovely kit, but lovelier dog!!!!

One quick question tho. Does this "bomber" category include planes such as SU-25 or JU 87 or is it strictly for the big boys.

[Stokesy44]

It’s not just for the ‘heavies’ but the aircraft needs to have a bomb bay to qualify.

Awesome, great to have you along
Yes, bomb bay doors is what the aircraft needs to qualify and has to be an unstarted kit.
