Mark22 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It has taken me more than a few years, but with the completion of the Meng F-102 Delta Dagger, I have managed to finish all six jets of the century series. All models are in 1/72 scale. The kits are: Italeri F-100D Super Sabre Hasegawa RF-101C Voodoo Meng F-102 Delta Dagger Hasegawa F-104S/F-104G Starfighter Trumpeter F-105D Thunderchief Hasegawa F-106 Delta Dart Mark Family Portrait 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Stunning! Can't really pick a favourite although that Canadian Hooter looks pretty special 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Very nice thematic collection. They show off the differences well. Regards Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 That's a lovely Century-series collection. I particularly like the F-102 and F-100. Great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skymonster Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nice collection - I think you need to do the F-107 to complete the set though! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Superb Century collection - they look fantastic. The paintwork on the 102 is lovely, nice and glossy too. Which paints/varnish did you use? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Beautiful Century Series collection. Love the Meng F-102. I've built the Hasegawa RF-101 several years ago and remember it as being a nice kit. Yours looks superb. In truth, all of them look superb. What was the Meng F-102 and Trumpeter F-105 like to build? Oh, and the group photo is excellent! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Stunning Century set! Really like them especially the Hasegawa Voodoo. Looks to make up into a great model. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which paints/varnish did you use? The F-102s used by the Air National Guard were usually painted with gloss ADC grey. I used Vallejo Model Air Pale Blue Grey (71046) followed by two coats of Aqua Gloss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day I'll make a what-if F-107 in an Air Force scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the group photo is excellent! Both Trumpeter and Meng are nice kits. They go together well with no fit issues (no putty required). The instructions are clear and well-written. Both kits come with good quality decals. I still like some of the older Hasegawa kits. While they may not be as accurate or detailed, the low parts count and solid attachments for the smaller parts (landing gear, etc) make for an enjoyable build.

kapam Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 You definitely hit a home run on all of those! The Super Sabre and the Voodoo are especially awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Really great collection of your century series. My personally favourite is the F-104. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Great collection!!! All of them are very nicely done! I'm half way to this collection with exactly same Hun, Hase's F-104 in Aeronautica Militare markings, and Revell's CF-101B on the display. Trumpy Thud is in stash and close to its surface too. Should probably grab Meng's F-102 to do a Vietnam jet. P.S. One question - are these kept unarmed with only fuel tanks on purpose? Interesting decision as it helps to see clear line of these six.

Toryu Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I love thematic collections! They are superbly modelled, could easily go for 1/48. The F-105 appears smaller next to the others than I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the F-102 and F-106 have an internal weapons bay that opens up to fire the missiles (like the F-22 and F-35). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
