I guess we should discus the aircraft in at least part.

The worlds first Mach 2+ four engined bomber the B-58 held (still does hold some) records for speed altitude payload at speed etc...

Thes photo's are from the National Museum of the USAF at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton Ohio.


Front seat

Nav/Bombader





DSO
 
So next I have to cutout the access panels for the Bomb/Nav and the DSO. Using a roto tool and a cutting bit I first used to vinyl tape to mark out the panel lines and the rough cut the panels out then files and sanding to clean it all up.
