hese are two fictional repaints of the excellent Glowingheat Convair B-58 Hustler representing the aircraft as it migh have appeared in service during the Vietnam conflict. The proposed role of the Hustler was one of low-level pathfinder for F-4 and F-105 strike packets going north from bases in Thailand, but low-level interdiction with iron bombs or laser-guided munitions carried internally in modified pods or externally, would have been just as feasible.
The first paint represents a B-58D which could have been a version optimised for low-level missions, and allocated to the 305th Bomb Wing and christened 'Tondalayo'. The second represents an earlier B-58 leased to the Royal Australian Air Force allocated to No. 1 Squadron. Either can be configured with an ALBM instead of pods.
