Red one looks like the cargo aircraft and the blue one is strangely attractive ???  :thumbsup:

I am trying to reduce my stash a bit




funnily the appropriate width of the fuselage makes for well-working coordinated VG wings

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Why, hell yeah!  That's pretty cool right there!!!!!  I'm loving this Hustler action, seeing as how I'm trudging along with mine.

Very good Hustler & Tomcat mix!
(I am writing it here in clear because the explanation was in the topic's title, that will change soon)
Anyway congratulations!
Are the B-58 and F-14 at different scales or the same?

thanks !

I had noticed there are other Hustlers being done around : we could start a group or collection  ;)

it is the 1/72 Italeri, and the Tomcat is Airfix 1/72 as well (the rest of which will appear on this thread soon  ;D )

indeed : I have another one in preparation that will confirm this impression I expect.

And the Hustler was surprisingly small for a four-engined nuclear strike bomber. Very neat match.  :thumbsup:

But why does it remind me of the British TSR-2? That wasn't even a swing-wing. Maybe it's the crew top-loading.

Size comparisons from Wikipedia:

Hustler
  Length: 96 ft 10 in (29.5 m)
  Wingspan: 56 ft 9 in (17.3 m)
  Loaded weight: 67,871 lb (30,786 kg)

TSR-2
  Length: 89 ft (27.13 m)
  Wingspan: 37.14 ft (11.32 m)
  Loaded weight: 79,573 lb (36,169 kg)

Tomcat
  Length: 62 ft 9 in (19.1 m)
  Wingspan:
    Spread: 64 ft (19.55 m)
    Swept: 38 ft (11.58 m)
  Loaded weight: 61,000 lb (27,700 kg)
Cheers.

Good for the remaining parts! So much better in your creative hands than in the garbage can! :thumbsup:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
