Jb65rams Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 My second planned build is Meng's Convair F-102A Delta Dagger. I have the George Bush boxing but plan to use aftermarket decals as I want something a bit more colourful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Another interesting as well as colourful subject if your aftermarket decal sheet is anything to go by JB Is the "George Bush Boxing" a reference to the former POTUS having flown the type?

Jb65rams Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 @Col. Yes, George Busg boxing does refer to the former POTUS. He flew it when he served in the 111th Fighter Intercept Squadron, Texas Air National Guard. Looks like its been 2 months since I last looked at this thread. Found on the last page. I have made some progress on this and the F-106A but just haven't documented it. Apologies. Cockpit completed. Fuselage came together very quickly. I have decided to build this one all 'buttoned up'. The F-106 will have its panels / weapons bay open. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Another nice kit JB. Can't quite make out from the pic if it is a Case X wing or Case XX - looks like the later to me? I believe they offer both as different boxings. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Pete, I believe this one is a Case X. You are correct, they do offer both as different boxings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 In the last week, I seem to have rediscovered my mojo, and have finally made some progress. Primed and ready for paint. Struggled to find an match for Air Defence Gray, the nearest I could find was Vallejo Model AIr Flanker Light Gray. Gloss coated and decalling underway. Decals from an Xtradecal set representing an aircraft from 496th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Hahn AFB Germany. Even as I made progress, I just suffered a minor set back, the carpet monster has feasted on the nose wheel. I will check my spares box, if not I believe there is a resin replacement set available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Seeing your model primed in grey shows the futuristic and radical lines of this machine to great effect. Matching those to such colourful markings really brings it to life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod's law, having painted the wheels I found the original missing nose wheel. At the same time I discovered one of the inner under carriage doors had gone missing. Made a replacement out of some plasticard. After a bit more fettling, I am calling this finished. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
