Craig Brown
Glendale, Arizona
An iconic bomber, the supersonic Hustler made an appearance in Craig’s XB-58A prototype built from the Monogram 1/48 scale kit. To model “Old Grand Pappy,” he rescribed panel lines, added resin engine intakes and nozzles, and added rivet details to the nacelles. Craig converted the tailgun to a cone and installed a metal pitot tube. A smooth primer coat provided a base for an Alclad II natural metal finish. He airbrushed Tamiya lacquers for the red, white, and black areas.
