Meng F-102A Deuce

[bapowell]

This is the 1/72-scale Meng F-102A Delta Dagger (Case X).  Lovely kit.  I picked up the DEAD Design canopy masks so that I could paint the yellow seal on the canopy.  I also tried out the Master Models turned brass pitot tube.  I deviated from the instructions to go with what I think is a more correct color: Vallejo Pale Grey Blue (70.907) which allegedly matches FS36473, which is Air Defense Command gray with which strategic interceptors like the F-102 were painted.  Metallics are Alclad, and interior surfaces are Mr. Color Zinc Chromate Type 1. We have the option to make it bristle with AIM-4 Falcons, which I had to oblige. I did very light weathering since the F-102 is always clean and shiny in my mind: some enamel wash and sparing oils on control surfaces.   Thanks for having a look!

An excellent looking F-102, nice work.

Straightforward with precise and an accurate amount of weathering to make this Deuce look as realistic as possible. There`s a lot to like about it.

Beautiful weathering, the panel lines are very clean. I am always impressed by the beauty of this aircraft, which I think you have replicated wonderfully.
