Kiwikitbasher Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 These two are the Meng Case-X and case-XX 1/72 scale kits, the camo job is the XX... Thanks for looking. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Wow! A pair of deuces beats a full house any day. Outstanding builds, both of them! You did a really nice job with the SEA scheme- the soft-edged demarcation looks perfect, which is hard to do in 1/72 scale! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camo was done with mainly paper masks and some blue-tac. I just enlarged the instructions' camo drawing to 1/72 scale and cut out the disruptive pattern shapes, with blue-tac doing joining the sections on the fuselage sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Both Duece's are really well done. I have always liked the ADC greys and yours is particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 They both look great. i particularly like the ADC version. If only modern combat aircraft were so colourful. There's something about the F-102 and all Convair's deltas that I really like. Apologies if there is a really obvious answer to this question, but can anyone tell me why it was nicknamed the Deuce? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare and contrast with the B-1 bomber sometimes referred to as the Bone (B-One minus the hyphen...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it must be so although it doesn't make as much sense as the Bone or the F4D Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Nice work! Love the ADC Gray one. I have my own OOB version just coming to a finish. Interesting radome colour, not seen that before. Hand painted pitot decoration? ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Great work @Kiwikitbasher! Both aircrafts looks absolutely stunning 👍 Can’t wait to put my hands on my stashed F-102 and F-106. Cheers! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
