Toshi,
Good to see you tackling another great subject!
I have this kit in the stash too, and was reluctant to think about rescribing the panel lines. I have done a few kits, and can say with certainty that I HATE rescribing! Looking over the kit I saw two potentially difficuly problems to overcome. Firstly, the upper/lower wing join line runs through some fairly busy details on the underside, and the fit is poor. Secondly, my kit is the one with Case XX (no upturned tips) wings, and Monogram had made the molds to allow the earlier wing tips to be swapped in during the molding process. My wing tips are thicker than the rest of the wing and they have heavy sink marks marring all that lovely Monogram surface detail. I figured to properly address both issues a rescribe would be in order, which is why I haven't started the kit.
One tiny detail that will be easy to fix is that there are what appears to be control surface locks on the outboard edges of the elevons. These need wigs to be removed for an in-service machine. I only noticed this when I was wallking around a real F-102 at the Evergreen Museum in McMinnville, OR, and saw the locks.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll do a stellar job as usual!
