Meng NASA F-102
Posted by mach71 on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 1:52 PM

I built this for the Century series group build and thought some here might be interested.The kit is the 1/72 Meng F-102 case XX. This was my first Meng kit, and my first jet aircraft build inabout 15 years. The decals are Fundkals and are excellent. I also used the Eduard PE set. I have a metal pitot tube to replace the kit one, but I am still painting it.

The kit went together very well. I only had to use a little filler. I think the engraved panel lines are to thick for this scale. The detail is very good. I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants a F-102.

Thanks Devil Dawg.

It was a fun build of an underrated aircraft in oddball paint.

I was very pleased with the Meng kit.

That looks great!  I've never seen that paint scheme before and I think it looks awesome.

Very cool! Always thought the F-102/F-106 were some of the most attractive Century Series aircraft (well second only to the Voodoo!)
