Thank you very much, your kind words are much appreciated. I found a photo-etch set for this kit in my stash of PE after I finished the Pit. But I have several more in the stash. So it will not go to waste.

Clifford produces one aircraft after the other 😉!
Don't wanna miss this. Take a seat here as well. Looking good so far.

These old monogram are pure gold speaking of details in cockpit and wheel bays. The just need a little love if you wanna go the scribing way.
Nice tribute to your father, would you mind posting pictures of his bird if you have some?

Joining the crowds, good luck on this family heritage project - can´t miss!
And a really cool start witht the OOB pit, that´s about as far as an OOB pit can be taken, and in my personal opinion, better than some flat PE-versions take it! Great detailed paintjob 👍

Thank you Patryk. Fit is not bad. Just required some on the wing roots, and the intakes will require a little.

It is all painted now, except for the exhaust area. Gave it a clear coat so the grey won't peel when I mask off the tailpipe. Thank you all for your kind words.

Decals are started. Super Scale decals are a pain. They rip very easy, I will have to do some minor touch up painting on the red and black checker board on the tail.

Album info
I am building a replica of my fathers F-102A Delta Dart, stationed at Kadena AFB Okinawa/Japan in the early 60's. So markings will not be the aircraft pictured on the box art.
