1/48 Trumpeter F-106A "Last Of The Sport Models"


Recommended Posts

I've finished this one a few weeks ago.

Build using Aires cockpit, Master pitot and my own 3D printed exhaust nozzle.

Decals are from Expert Choice.

Very impressive model. Can anyone tell me how the Trumpeter F-106 compares to the old Monogram kit for buildability?

I built the Monogram F106 last year & found it as good as I remembered in from 30 years ago.  Raised panel lines of course but great detail!

Extremely neat and convincing model. The Prusa (?) exhaust looks perfect, too.

 

Kind regards,

My printer is Anycubic Photon - old, slow but steady :D

Having the Monogram one in the past I can say Trumpy is far better buildable. I did not use ANY filler on this model....

I think you emphasized the panel lines??? Pencil? Thanks 

I've used AMMO water-based acrylic wash. The product is very similar to Flory's clay wash.

Fabulous build. How was the kit itself in terms of fit etc?

 

Irrespective, you have achieved a tremendous end result.

As I said above / fit is VERY good. No filler used :)
