Calibre Kicks it Up a Notch

At the China Beijing Hobby Expo Show, which is due to throw open its doors on April 117th, Calibre Wings drew back the curtains on their second rendition of their best-selling B-58 Hustler strategic bomber. Dubbed “Old Grandpappy”, the next iteration is based upon one of the XB-58 prototypes that took to the air in 1956. Decked out in a natural metal finish with orange tips, the latest version of Calibre’s B-58 will likely come in a handsome presentation case, which became the hallmark of the now sold out first version.

No official release date was given, so we’re assuming its due out towards the end of the calendar year, likely in time for the holidays. Also on display was a new F-14 Tomcat, perhaps based upon the aircraft depicted towards the end of the feature film, Top Gun: Maverick.
