And if you've ever wondered how the B-58 tucked away it's nose gear with that big weapons pod hanging down:

Enjoy!

What type of fuel/weapons pods will you have? I know there were a few differant types. I would like to see the Bendix trophy winner from 1962 or "Greased Lightning" from 1965. Both had some unique artwork celebrating their accomplishments.
