Convair B-58 "Hustler" Model Kits

[NMaude]

Doesn't anyone know if there are any good B-58 kites models available? something by, say, Revelle or Airfix?

Testors / Italeri in 1:72 is a geometry mess with lenght without pitot tube taken by kit maker as full lenght _with_ pitot. Some serious surgery need to fix that, you need to be experienced modeler. Kits are readily avalable, not the same with aftermarket.
In short, the beauty still in waiting of good kit made of her.

Believe it or else, the Lindberg 1/64 kit is worth considering, despite the odd scale. OK, the windscreen is lousy, but the rest is pretty usable.
