cookiemonster Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hello Hacker, the decals were in the box. The aircraft shows a plane of the 318th FIS. I'm glad that you like it Luis, but it's a newer rebox of it. the Decals say it's from 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiemonster Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thank you, I was very surprised as I spotted this kit in a toy store during my Holland vacation for 15 Euros. And I was very happy as I spotted a rebox at my hobbystore maybe I will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike DeTorrice Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 A great-looking Delta Dart ! The F-106 was one of the sexiest of the Century series fighters and interceptors and you have completed a wonderful version of it here. I was lucky enough to see some of these performing at the Chicago Air Show in the 1980's ...... this model captures that eye-catching delta look.

And I was very happy as I spotted a rebox at my hobbystore maybe I will buy it. Just Go for it and don't think about!! I have one that I want to convert in the F106B variant.....this one was "cut" in 1983 but as details were more than scarce, I stopped. I'll will look for this one and hope remains complete (it would be fantastic!!!), also you could do it too. Also there are many, many.....well many markings for this one. if you were so lucky, the one you build have more than one option and have had also the Bull in the Tail markings. Also, if you can find or have the old Squadron Signal In Action, there are a huge lot of marking variations you could choose. Go for the other one you spotted, maybe could be the last time you watch that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
