Silver Fox Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm going to have stop building these lovely old kits as I'm running out of storage space so this the last for a while. it is the old Revell/Monogram kit from the early 1990s. Pretty much strait out of the box with just some vents cleared out and a bit of extra work in the cockpit. The only addition was a Master nose probe. I used the lovely Caracal decals for a 49th FIS machine based at Griffiss AFB in the 1970s. As always thanks for looking 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Very nice as usual,........ I like the look of the F-102 & F-106,...... nice clean speed machines. I had the kit but sold it in a missus induced `clear out',..... I know what you mean about size,..... it is a big aircraft! I remember seeing a few of these at Sedes airfield in Greece in the station museum, big old things. Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camper1 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Another nice one Andy, you really should take the advice I gave you and evict the kids, plenty of room then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Tony, I never saw a F-106 flying Camper 1 reliably informs me a pair of them touched down at Prestwick on the way to the Paris air show but that was it for -106s in the UK. I did see a F-102 at Finningley around 1964(?). It made a Javelin look small. Guess who has an unbuilt 1//48th Javelin... Ian, the eldest might as well move out now she has passed her driving test, Still she did drive me all the way to Driffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looks good, what paints did you use for the ADC grey? The 102 and 106 just have that 'fast' look about them, very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It’s great to see older kits getting built especially when they turn out like this stunner. Outstanding Delta Dart 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments. Parabat I used Gunze Sanyo 315 and some 325 for contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello Fox, Monogram, always good. Also this F-106. The Caracal decals is a must, because the Monogram decals are a real disaster. You turned this old fighter into a real winner. Regards, Orion-The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil.C Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What a lovely model. Those Darts are certainly a beautiful aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaracalModels Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Your F-106 looks great! This was a really graceful jet, one which I unfortunately never had the chance to see in the sky. Thank you for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
