Thank you, Bob! 🤝 Just bought an F-100F so it’s difficult to decide about the next kit: F-100F, F-106A or an F-106B... 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic makes a nice one in 1/48. The Century fighters series is a great modeling theme indeed. As I’m on my Hun trip, it would be nice to see you build a F-100F in Misty FAC or Wild Weasel configuration. 😋 VERY nice Meng Deuce👌 Cracking crisp build!

72modeler Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Nikolay, I am speechless! Just got back to your WIP and RFI photos after a long absence, and what a magnificent Deuce! Sure looks handsome in the aluminum lacquer, not to take anything away from the ADC grey aircraft, but....wow! Don't know how much I contributed to your build, other than encouragement, but now you can add admiration to that! Now, it's on to the prettiest delta ever, the F-106? Gonna do a B? How about an A Six Shooter with the Vulcan cannon? We had a lot of discussion on them a while back and I was able to post some good detail photos and diagrams of the installation.

Thank you Mike, any contribution and any interest in my work is encouraged me to finish the kit sooner or later. 👍 9 hours ago, 72modeler said: Now, it's on to the prettiest delta ever, the F-106? Gonna do a B? How about an A Six Shooter with the Vulcan cannon? We had a lot of discussion on them a while back and I was able to post some good detail photos and diagrams of the installation. Well, you and Dennis (@Corsairfoxfouruncle) are both asking me for an F-106B... I need to think, but I’m sure it’ll be very interesting. I have a Trumpeter kit in a Gentleman Scale and it requires an additional set of decals, in my opinion. Also I have another interesting box with an F-100F inside - there’s not so many parts in comparison to an F-106B and I guess it’ll be shorter build. Or I can start both at the same time! 😬 9 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Anytime I can help Im happy to. Thank you, Dennis!
