You need a bigger house.
 
I give you a lot of credit in handling all those resin parts. There's a big chance to screw them up and you're doing a wonderful job in not doing that. I like how you used the tape to give you guidance on routing out the openings. The B-58 was a magnificant aircraft that (to me) looks exactly like a jet bomber should look. I saw it at the MOUSAF and was amazed at how big it was. I'll be following your work. It's going to be a crowd pleaser.
 
After getting everything all situated I than shot a black (Mr Surface 1500) primer. Removed everything and used a light gull gray base. The cockpit is a light gray with the avionics being a darker gray. Dark gull or medium gray looks to be about right.

The LS set includes the front pit. I hadn't noticed it before and I'm not sure I'm going to use it. Fighting with less resin is better if it's not really a add, my opinion.


 
Ok let the games begin.. Rescrubbing started.

I started with a Tamiya scribe .01 and shortly broke it. (Not very stout and expensive. ) I bought a relatively inexpensive set if scribers off Amazon and they be working it.
Using a strip of embossing tape as a guide, i've had a couple of minor OOOps but not bad... Fixable.
