Yes, very nice work!  I have the American version of that kit, probably near-original-release, that I've been wanting to do just to play with natural metal finish paints.  You've done very well, there.

Nice model!  

I must have built 3 or 4 of those when they were new, I got them as cereal premiums.  Made the wheels go up and down, too.

That wouls be the old Monogram kit.  There was a button on the top behind the rear seat that was designed to drop the weapons pod.  New, I think it ran for about ,69 to 1.25 back then.

¡Buen trabajo!

I like the color differences in the silver wing panels.

The Lindberg kit is old, but I still like it.

Unfortunately, I never owned the old Monogram model with working features.

Pretty nicely done!  

John,

You got model kits as cereal premiums?  What a blast that would have been.

But I wouldn't buy that kit. Buy the 1/72 Italeri one, it's about $ 30.00 on eBay right now.

OK and thanks for the heads up.  

Actually, I save up for the semi-anual IPMS shows here in Orlando, Florida, then buy my yearly supply of kits and stuff at a deep discount from the vendors there.  I'll be looking for the B-58 there this time ( in Sept. )   Alas, I passed up a 1/48 Monogram B-58 there last year and have regretted it ever since.  I had to save a little for Bass Pro Shops which was nearby. I don't travel much to Orlando ,and both the IPMS and Bass Pro Shop was accessable in 1 day.

Our show will be back at the Wyndom this year.  Evidently the one used last year didn't go over too well.  I'm debating selling  my B-58 this year.

Dude,

Nice job. Very strange scale. I have always loved that airplane with the huge engines sticking out in front of the wings.

Your comments and questions are always welcome.
