The Convair B-58 Hustler was a groundbreaking strategic bomber of the United States Air Force (USAF) used during the Cold War (service years 1960-1970). It was the first supersonic bomber forming part of NATO’s Nuclear Triad. The Hustler is famous for its distinctive delta wing configuration and powerful J79 engines; it was primarily used as a fast strike platform in nuclear deterrence missions.

The RES/KIT wheel set guarantees a significant boost in realism for your model—the details exceed what is offered by standard plastic kit parts. The precise execution of the tread pattern, mounting bolts, and proper representation of tire “flattening” under the aircraft’s weight will make your model more authentic, both in display cases and dioramas. Assembly is clear and intuitive, but we recommend this set for modelers with some experience working with resin.

Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 (for modelers with basic to intermediate experience)
Recommended to all aviation enthusiasts, modelers building a collection of supersonic Cold War-era aircraft, as well as anyone wishing to enhance the detail level of their 1:72 scale B-58 Hustler models.
