I also built the Revell B-58 as a kid. What a great-looking airplane.

Never saw a B-58 fly, but when I was stationed at McCoy an RAF Vulcan bomber flew in for a bombing competition. At the end of the competition it took off from the field and disappeared over the horizon; then it came back and did a victory roll! One of the coolest things I ever saw. (The victory roll was kind of ironic; their crew placed last in the competition, beaten by all the SAC B-52 crews.)

I did the same thing, ahh... the smell of model glue in the morning, like victory.
