Just finished - 1:72 Convair F-102A Delta Dagger, serial 56-0981, 342 AWS, Hellenic Air Force, Tanagra AB, 1975. Meng kit "out of the box" except Quickboost resin nose, Master Pitot tube, decals from Icarus Productions and some scratch. An unusual topic for me, but during this year's holidays I visited the Hellenic Air Force museum at the Dekelia AB, where I was enchanted by this extraordinary aircraft. Thanks for watching!- 8 replies

OK, since it was noted that Daggers and Darts are woefully under represented I'm going to change lanes and start with an old build that I've dis-assembled and stripped 95% of the paint off. I wanted to start in numerical order with an F-100D Thunderbird and proceed from there through the F-101, F-102. (Already built an F-103) NF-104A, F-105 Thunderbird and if time permits an F-106A. I have an F-107 but that will be a Long build and I won;t have time for it in this GB. But then I've set myself a high bar as it is. So with out further ado. I present Monograms ProModeler 1/48 F-102A Case X Wing. For the exterior I have Eagle Strike Prod. Flying Daggers set. I'm going to profile an F-102A of the 460th FIS Portland, Oregon 1958-1966 Also updating the pitot tube with Quick Boost resin and SAC's metal under carriage set. This GB should prove verrry interesting(Bad Artie Johnson imitation). So as Samuel L. Jackson would say... "Hang onto your Butts"- 34 replies

I've had this in the stash for a few years now, purchased it when it came out, & here's a good excuse to get it made. I know it may be a small thing to some but I really like the quality of the box top & the artwork that Meng employs. I'll be using the Microscale decal sheet 72-363 which has an F-102A 56-0977 of the 32nd FIS at Soesterberg & Microscale's info says it's from 1961. Here's a couple of rererence pics of mine from a few years ago of 56-1032 at the National Military Museum at Soesterberg . Got some primer & relevant paint on the first stage parts that initially need painting before it goes together. They'l get an enamel wash for the cockpit & undercarriage bays. Primed with Ammo one shot which dried & set quickly then airbrushed with Mig acrylics. Before I close it up, will I need any nose weight? Is the 102 a tail sitter? So far I can see that this will go together pretty quickly. Martin

Hello, Britmodellers! 👋 Finally, the Deuce is finished. It was the second (and successful) attempt at building this kit that I planned to be straight OOB, but in the end I was opted for another painting scheme and AM decal set from fündekals :). The starboard side: The port side: The belly of a bird: Actually, it has a very rough finish, but I find it very attractive: The decals looks very lovely, even if the kit’s one aren’t so precise and thin: I messed up the starboard side lettering and the «FORCE» word is a bit wavy: Another downside was an incorrect placing of the MLG doors, but I decided to do nothing to prevent another problems: The canopy sealant looks excellent and as for me, it’s another cool-looking feature of this kit (along with the tail hook): So, the WIP thread is here for those who are interested: Thanks for looking, I hope you’ll like it! 🙂

Hello, Britmodellers! 👋 Well, it’s time to build something from a Century Series again... I’m looked for a pleasurable and straightforward project and choose the «Deuce» from MENG! I’m not a big fan of the Gentleman Scale, but this kit draws my attention. Let’s look at the box: The box is sturdy and filled with a well-packed plastic parts: The first sprue (A Parts) with a fuselage halves: It’s a big bird, even if it’s a 1/72nd scale! 😋 The second sprue (B Parts) has a wings and weapon bay doors: The C and D (x2) Parts sprues has a cockpit and weapon parts on it: F Parts sprue with a Case XX wing tips: The G Parts is a protected sprue with a canopy and landing lights parts: An instruction sheet looks very informative and the decal sheet is colorful and well-printed. I want to build a 196th FIS bird in an ADC Gray scheme with a California markings: Thanks for looking! 😎

Finally finished, this is a 'refresh' of the Monogram 1/48 Convair F-102A Delta Dagger. This is the original kit released in 1990 and has the Case XX wing, being a fan of the Convair Deltas I would have built this soon after I purchased it so it has been around for at least 20 years. I did post this in KUTA VIII earlier this year but didn't finish. So, on to the photos: Not too upset with the result however a few parts are missing; the nose probe, the IR sensor, one of the Falcon missiles and the rocket tube fairings on the missile bay doors. All the major parts of the aircraft were stripped back using Fairy Power Spray, given a dusting of Halfords grey primer, then mostly airbrushed with Model Master 1731 Aircraft (ADC) Gray. Almost all other colours were brushed using Vallejo paints. She is marked as the 496th FIS Commander's aircraft based at Hahn in FRG in 1961. Basic stencils and markings from a very old Superscale F-102 'Complete Stencil Data' and the unit markings from the 2002 rebox. All decals went on really well however I don't think that the black/yellow band on the nose is the correct way round! The whole thing was sealed with a coat of Humbrol satin varnish. The end result is better than I expected. The model is huge and shows how large the Delta Dagger was! The AIM-4D Falcon missiles are the originals, one was lost during the build so the centre forward pylon is empty. Michael -
She is a poor faded old gal, an original Monogram 1/48th F-102A Delta Dagger with the Case XX wing and I put her together in the early 90's using the kit decals and painted using one of those Humbrol small spray cans which were popular back then, was supposed to be FS36473 'ADC Grey' but I suspect was something quite different. Whatever, the sum of the parts was good and she has been on display in my cabinet until recently however with seven new builds this year I need the space and she has been ousted and is now poised on the edge of the 'shelf of shame'. So what to do? Well, I could bin her, however the original Monogram kit fitted well and all she needs is a little filler. The decals are shot but being Monogram they refuse to peel off. I think I did good work with the complex armaments bay and thanks to the brittle poly cement that I used all the parts have fallen out without too much persuasion. My plan is to attack her with Fairy Power Spray and lots of sanding paper and see what she looks like after that. I do have decals for other Delta Daggers, or I could complete her as a PQM-102A drone, or even as stored in AMARC back in the late 80's. I want to get this done quickly and the end of January deadline of this group build suits me perfectly, I want to start a big project after this. On to the photos Michael

hi guys is it only me or it is difficult to find reference photos of the F-102 with open access panels? I have the Detail & Scale book but it only has 2-3 photos of the radar and weapon system equipment in the nose so i was wondering if any of you have any photos of open panels from the legend as i am planning to build one with as many panels open as i can find thanks guys!
