B-58s

Spectre · 04-07-2002, 09:27 PM

does anyone know where I can get a diecast B-58? and in a largr 1/200-1/48 scale?

I don't think such a thing exists! The only diecast B-58s are small toys, I guess the 70s Politoys is your best bet. Do you have the Bachmann Mini-Planes B-58? Now that is well-detailed, but also tiny.

Hi Spectre, Airpower make a 1/200 diecast B58, price is high (£100+) and it's in my "see before buying" category. I'm not sure who sells these other than CAM UK, they seem hard to find. Another possibility is Bader or the Phillippine mahogany model makers.

Well I would certainly recommend the Airpower 1:200 B-58. It's made by a real craftsman from Norwich, who sells exclusively through CAM UK. Yes, it's expensive, and no, it's not perfectly to scale (struts seem a little short), but it's sure beautiful.

Spectre, it's times like these when I realize how much I really need a digital camera. If I can come up with anything, I'll let you know.
