Herpa 1:200 XB-58 Hustler USAF Mach-in-Boid

Description: Herpa 1:200 Wings 573160 Convair XB-58 Hustler Diecast Model USAF, #55-0661 Mach-in-Boid, B-58 Test Program 1957 1:200 Scale Length WidthConvair XB-58 Hustler 5.75" 3.5" To this day, the sleek delta-winged Convair B-58 Hustler with its slim coke-bottle fuselage remains a fascinating aircraft. #55-0661 was the second prototype of Convair's Mach-2 strategic bomber and took off on its maiden flight on February 16, 1957. Nicknamed "Mach-in-Boid", she was extensively used for tests and evaluation, among several other firsts, being the first "Hustler" to conduct inflight refueling tests, the first to carry the unique combined fuel tank/weapons pod, or the first to test in-flight emergency ejection at supersonic speeds using a pressurized escape pod. Convair XB-58 Hustler Designed as a supersonic strategic medium-range bomber, the B-58 was first flown on November 11th, 1956. Convair applied much of the experience they had gained from developing delta-winged supersonic fighters to the design. A unique feature of the aircraft was the use of a jettisonable centerline pod which not only contained additional fuel for the aircraft but also housed the nuclear payload or specialized reconnaisance equipment. The Hustler became the United States' first operational supersonic bomber when it entered service in 1960 but was retired just 10 years later when Soviet missile technology canceled out any advantage the aircraft had over the exisiting B-52 fleet.
