1:72 B-58 HUSTLER
The supersonic bomber Convair B-58 Hustler was developed during the late 1950s for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command.
Replacing the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, the B-58 was characterized by the adoption of the delta-wing and it was able to release impressive speed and climbing performances. Thanks to the four General Electric J-79 turbojet with afterburner engines, installed in pylons under the wings, the B-58 was able to reach the max speed of Mach 2,0. It entered in service in the early 60s as a strategic bomber but, quite soon, it was also used as low-level-penetration attack aircraft.
It was equipped, for the time, with a sophisticated electronic flight system and an advanced attack / navigation radar. It remained in service until 1970 when it was succeeded by the smaller, swing-wing General Dynamics F-111.
