Silver Fox Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just finished this in time for the sunshine to reach this part of the world which enable me to take some outdoor photos for the first time this year It is an old boxing of the Monogram F-102 which is still a good kit but tricky to put together. The kit decals were well past their sell by date, which is the risk you take when you buy 2nd(3rd, 4th, 5th??) hand. Shame as the kit scheme was very attractive. Basically out of the box with the fuselage lights opened up and new lens put in. I used and old Repliscale sheet to produce a machine of the 431st FIS based in Zaragosa, Spain in the early 1960s. I changed the serials and Buzz numbers to portray a picture in one of my references. As always thanks for looking 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I just bought this kit, where are the trouble spots? I'm thinking about fast tracking the build. Great model BTW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 The fit of the lower wing and the closed missile door needs a lot of test fitting and careful sanding. The nose door is awkward to attach but other than that it is straightforward it just need a lot of patience. If you have bought the latest iteration of the kit from Revell be aware that the kit has a Case XX wing with the drooped tips but the decals are for the Case X version with the straight wingtips. Not sure if they corrected it during the production run, so take care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Hello @Silver Fox ... Great Deuce and Markings . I have the exact same kit and markings in the stack of upcoming builds. I have a photo or two showing the case xx wing and these markings. Edited April 18, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 They were good quality but they are quite old so need some care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
