Hi Woodsy,
I found a You Tube channel called Classic Airliners & Vintage Pop Culture, devoted to airliners, and toys related to airliners.
One video includes an old TV ad for Post breakfast cereals, and a mail-away offer for a Convair B-58 Hustler Supersonic Bomber kit, and SAC Wings.
Post Sugar Crisp and Raisin Bran cereals carried the offer. The B-58 kit was yours for a box top, and 50 cents.
The video says the model is the Lindberg B-58 kit. A number of cereal companies offered various plastic kits as part of such a mail-away promotion.

The B-58 is one of those sleek "gee whiz" jet designs that we kids really fell for back in the day. SFZ
