B-58 Sea Hustler

[Eddie M.]

I haven't started a big project since Hogzilla, so I decide to bit off more than I can chew by making a carrier capable B-58. Having spent a far amount of time on deck, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do. I do admit it has it's challenges, but that's what I need to wrap my mind around it.

wing and wheel well mods

burner cans

beginning work on speed brakes

Now that is 'thinking outside the box' for sure

Look forward to how this progresses

Wow! I can't wait to see what comes next.

I remember seeing footage of an early C-130 undergoing carreir trials but a Hustler would be somthing else.

Looking great as usual Eddie! Can't wait to see this one finished, any idea what undercarriage you're going to use?

Here's the mock up I did today. I'm pretty happy with this set up.

Your next project will have to be a carrier capable of launching a B-58!

Thank y'all for reminding about this one. It was put on the back burner due to some minor health issues and it has been sitting within arms reach... mocking me, no daring me to start it again. I just might.

This one will be. I've been doing my homework and it just might be kinda, maybe, plausible ;D

[GreyGhost]

Nice concept, any more progress ?

Things have changed and probably for the better. The project I was trying to put together was getting to be more involved than I had planned, which in turn ground my productivity to a halt. Plus, I'm always trying to not replicate any of my past builds, so I've mixed this one up a bit. I've decided to go with a shore based system that would be fighter and attack. I'm thinking the F/A-58.

Here's how it stands today
