Hey all,
Reading through International Air Power Journal from a couple years back, I saw a bunch of info on the proposal to use the B-58 as a bomber in Vietnam. I bought the decal sheet for 1/72nd scale but in a B&E that happened to me earlier this year I've lost the kit and decals. Anyone know the company who did the decals or have a scan of the camo scheme? If so P.M. me or give a shout here.
Thanks,
Dave O.

The B-58 camo scheme was also available in the Italeri 1/72 Hustler, as well as the FoxOne set. Much has been discused as to weather this was actually ever painted on a B-58, but it does make an interesting version of the Hustler. Don M.

If you can get hold of Jay Miller's book on the B-58, second edition, there's a small diagram in it of the TO 1-1-4 layout and a claim from someone who was around at the time that it was painted up but never flew (IIRC). I'd add a copy of the page but I don't have a scanner, I'm afraid.
