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

thanks!

I am trying to reduce my stash a bit




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

Now THAT'S different!

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?

[kerick]

Well done! That looks very "right"!

[ericr]

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  )

[PR19_Kit]

Makes you realise just how BIG the F-14 was! 

[ericr]

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. 

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.

Well done! That looks very "right"!

Very much so. I can definitely see her in Soviet colours

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  )

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

[Mossie]

Wow, that works so well!
