Meng 1/72 F-102A Delta Dagger - Vietnam War
1
February 11, 2021Meng's F-102 is a really nice and beautifully engineered kit2
February 11, 2021All things inside the fuselage installed3
February 11, 2021Masking the inside of the intakes that fit very well4
February 11, 2021Weapons bay, I will close it up but everything is provided to show it open. Needed shims at the wing root to fill a gap.5
February 11, 2021Had some fit issues installing the wing, spreader to the rescue...6
February 11, 2021... and a nasty seam on the starboard side wing to fuselage join. Putting some tension on it.7
February 11, 2021Masking the windscreen8
February 11, 2021Primed and pre-shaded9
February 11, 2021First coat on, used AK Interactive acrylic, nice paint except it clogs my airbrush in no-time10
February 11, 2021Mid-green coat on...11
February 11, 2021... and more masking for the dark green12
February 11, 2021Dark green done...13
February 11, 2021...and looking good after de-masking14
February 11, 2021Gloss coat and first decals applied15
February 11, 2021Decals behaved well, didn't notice the slight white edge of the turbine warning strip until applying... But something else is off as well. Hmmm.16
February 11, 2021After a while I realized Meng fouled up with the national insignia. They are way too large.. What are these things called again? Right, references. Check check check. Darn things refused to come off, had to sand them off...17
February 11, 2021Respraying the damaged areas after quite some filling and sanding to repair the damage...18
February 11, 2021Back on track with insignia from the spares box19
February 11, 2021Matt coat on, light weathering done20
February 11, 2021More de-masking. Aaaand oops, pulled too hard on the masking tape in the intakes. Sigh...21
February 11, 2021intake back on with minimal damage and installing gear22
February 11, 2021Wing tanks etc on, almost there23
February 11, 2021And done! Pitot tube was damaged beyond repair in the box, so replaced by a pin.24

Very nice! I had issues with the intakes when I did mine. Different boxing.
