Billy - it's not nice to take pictures of the real airplane and try to pass them off as your model That is one beautiful bird!!!

Great shots Billy. At first glance your model does look like the real deal.

Hello Billy,
I concur with all the good comments about this model. I have downloaded the
model and will probably get around to it after I complete my B-17 project. How
would you like to do your metallic skills on a 1/44th scale B-17? I'm open to
supplying you with line drawings and a colorized version or whatever you require
for a Beta build. I' still redesigning the engine nacelles and cowlings but hope to
have them completed before too long. Regards Ron40

Hello Billy and Ken!,.. I just finished reading this entire thread (in 2 sittings) and purchased the B-58 (2 seconds ago) and the X-15 (yesterday),.. looking forward to hopefully build them soon!,.. thank you guys for these inspiring threads!

I read several post ago about the discussion on decals versus stickers versus metal paper versus grey paper,..has anyone attempted to repaint the hustler so its a simulated brushed aluminum in photoshop? that way the white is solved on the decals that need white and there is no need for an extra step of applying decals? with kens permission I would like to try a small sample section to see what it would look like,..

Hi Ken,

I was looking for a 1/72 Tu-95 the other day and somehow found the B-58 on ecards. I read all the items in the thread and wanted to know if any updates to the kit were made since? Also, are the applications of the markings and use of the Red River paper discussed in the instructions?

Finally, my challenge: I have no ink jet printer. I will have to go to FedEX Kinkos or a commercial printer. Any concerns (other than cost) here?

Thanks!

Paul
