Papertrade F 102 Delta Dagger

[ashevilleangler]

Very nice looking set of aircraft Billy! It does a great job of showing the differences between the F-102 and F-106 Delta D's. Your just a Hun and a Thud away from the classic "Century Series" photo.

BTW, for willyg, the TSMC website has a very nice 102 which you can have by asking the site manager for it. This thread has the info:

Nice Curt, thanks
Here's some progress, the weapon bay with the doors cut out and the first parts of the cockpit,

Looks good indeed! You got to have a lot of shelf space though, if you build all planes in 1/33, Billy! The 102 has a beautiful shape. Nice to see a well-detailed kit appear on the scene. - And a Dutch connection too!

Which is nice.

John, I second a detailed dog sabre. I wish I had a dollar for every school paper that I annotated with drawings of F-86 Ds shooting down Mig-15s.

Curt- Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten about that one.

Little progress, cockpit interior , double up the instrument panel and fill it with the stuff in the back

Not to worry. Billy is working with the provisional sketches and instructions; with his comments and suggestions, designer Cor and myself will spend a lot of time on perfecting them. As a former teacher (of English), I know how much time and attention have to go into this part of the whole project.
On Chris Gutzmer's advice we have already decided to make a separate edition available in 1/33rd, to be printed on American letter size.
But don't hold your breath: we will still need a lot of time (at least as much as Billy, and a bit extra).

By the way: my Flickr Photo Collection has already been seen by over 17.000 visitors. Please send me you model pictures?
