Completed 5/25/18 Revell 1/48 F-102A Delta Dagger

I ended up hand painting the wing tips and tail red.  This will be my finish for today.  I hope you like as this is one of the latest nights I’ve ever stayed up!  lol!

Looks like your hard at work there, Toshi. That is one kit that will stand out for sure. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing decals on that monster soon.

I too hope to put the decals on, I think I’m right around the corner with that part of the build.  Thanks for stopping by and always supporting my builds!

I’m working on the painting of misc. and fueselage Items.

Here are some photos of the Dagger.  I took these photos at 3:30am est.  this morning. I did this as this is when I have some time to my bench.  So far among other things, I came across some real issues with the bomb racks.  

Now mounting them will be another issue as well.

Hi toshi,

I never had great luck with bombs and bomb racks.  I seem to always break them off.  I was advised to work slow and use superglue and have activator on hand.  

3am build sessions, I miss those.

Cheers my friend,

Here I have the completed f-102 Delta Dagger. A very interesting build I must say.  The landing gear, bombs and bomb racks, gave me the best of insanity I thought to myself, did I hit my head again?  lol!  No, but the side of the boxed kit does say level 4.  

Everything else proved to be with no issues and or concerns.  Of all the kits to take close to two months to finish, (Due to illness) it had to be this kit.  Well, Mrs. Toshi already purchased my Father’s Day gift.  A Trumpeter 1/32 F4F-4 Wildcat.  I don’t have a single Wildcat in my collection so this will be a interesting and fresh build.

Being a humbled modeler, I must say that this was not my better attempts but a mediocre attempt at best so please forgive some of the inaccuracies.

Well it actually looks very decent from here Toshi. That kit has some BIG seam issues and a terrible fitting canopy so it tests ones abilities.

I scratched built some FOD covers for mine since there is no trunking pesent. I also did the weapons bay closed to keep the sleek clean lines of the Deuce but still working on it.

Looks pretty good to me, Toshi. I love the look and you did a great job. I should add one of those to the stash. Well done, Sir!

Looks very good. Always thought the Dagger looked like it was going much faster then it could

Thank you sir for stopping by and giving me the support I needed in finishing this build.
