The modelmakers employed by the late Gerry Anderson on his children's TV shows in the 1960s made good use of model kits to provide realistic looking aircraft.
The 1964 series Stingray was especially rich in these. The B58 and F5 were frequent guests. Others included the Boeing 727 and the Kaman Husky.

Must be said, even when parked, B-58 still looks supersonic...
 
Someday I will "improve" a 1/72 scale B-58 by putting two engines on the wingtips and two more a la XB-51: on the fuselage flanks...

And strap on a Shuttle ET so it looks like it will enough fuel to make the end of the runway?
