reini Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Reini's Century Series - F-106A Delta Dart Meng's F-106 comes in a box twice the size of the same manufacturer's F-102 box - and it's stull packed full with plastic! And if possible, it also looks even better than the F-102 kit. As can be seen, the kit is started, but I think I'm safe to say that I'm still under the 25% rule? Kit comes with really nice looking decal sheet and excellent instruction manual. But I will be using Expert Choice decals - and I will be doing a Massachusetts Air National Guard F-106. The PE-set comes with the kit so in addition to the decals, pitot tube is the only thing I've bought extra for this kit. And twice, as it seems! So if anyone needs a 1:72 F-106 pitot tube, send me a PM The Six is the only Century Series fighter that I have not built before so this will be interesting 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Well you're virtually a one man GB aren't you Reini! The F-106 is a great looking aircraft and your choice of markings for the Massachusetts ANG really help to show off it's great shape. This looks like a really nice kit and you are well below the 25% rule. Very interested to see this come together. 🇺🇦 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I’m glad to see you pick a Dart, Reini. For such a beautiful aeroplane there are few in this GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The detail looks pretty good on that seat for the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Here we go! Starting up a 8 hour long pulled pork session... It's a long wait so one tends to get hungry in between. So first some sausages... Then some egg-soaked toasts with mature cheddar and bacon inside, heavily doused with maple syrup! With a side of carrots roasted directly on the coals and seasoned with cumin and maple syrup. Oh man, this was tasty! Almost felt quilty eating it, it was so good. Pulled pork pretty much done. Made sweet and tasty with large amount of Cherry & Cola BBQ sauce. A side of salad and served inside tortillas. Sorry, no pics of the final products, we were feeling the hunger by now Oh, right! I did some plastic models too... Cockpit with the base painting done. After some details& drubrush - and put together. Intakes had nasty ejector pin marks, put they came off after a quick sanding. And they are quite deep inside the plane so I wasn't too worried about them. I'm actually done this build quite a lot more but I can't get my photos to cooperate. I'll try next time with better luck 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Well if I wasn't hungry before reading this update I most certainly am now! That food looks seriously nice Reini, even the salad! It looks like your F-106 is making very nice progress too and looks like a very nicely detailed model. I wonder what culinary delights we are in for with the next update! 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'd like to comment on the model stuff but after the culinary shots reini, it was difficult to concentrate on something that wasn't food again. damn i'm hungry now; that was evil and unfair 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 The GB has been long over but I'm in the mood for some Century series - so let's continue on one of these that failed to cross the finish line... Wheel wells done Masked the nose. Mask undone. Decals done Despite being bit fragile, these 'Expert's Choice' decals seemed to work pretty well. The tail stripes were bit off (wrong angle and bit too long) as the decals were made for the Hasegawa kit but I will touch them up with a paint brush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Great to see you continuing your Century series builds Reini. Your Dart is looking really good, nice choice of markings too as they suit the aircraft very well. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Wash on! I wanted bit more subtle panel lining so I mixed Flory Models Dark Dirt with Gray. I think it worked out OK. The panel lines are visible but not in your face. These planes seem to be in pristine condition in the pictures so I'm going for bit more cleaner look than I usually go. All the small stuff. Note the inside of the air brakes. For all those who want to do a F-106 build, I have to share this awesome treasure trove of a website: https://www.f-106deltadart.com/piwigo/ It's been awesome for drawing up inspiration and looking up details. Here's what I have been using for working this build: https://www.f-106deltadart.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/93 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 That looks great Reini. The wash has worked very well as you say by showing the panel lines without making them look too stark. She looks very close to being finished. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
