    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    Heres the final part of my century series build , the Convair F106 Delta Dart. Its been a few years since I started this project with the F100 , then F101 , F102 , F104 and F105 ( all the previous builds are still on the forum but since the server change the pics cant be expanded , so once ive finished this one I’ll take some more of them all together ) .
    The kit is the superb Monogram tooling dating from 1983 , re issued here in a Revell boxing ( which means the decals will be good ) . The detail on this is stunning for the time with beautifully done wheel wells ,cockpit and missile bay . No PE is available for this but none is really needed as the cockpit and seat with harness are fully detailed, just needing careful painting . First up was assembling the three part seat and priming the cockpit parts .

      Very nice, I’m going to pull up a chair to watch Tony.

      The detail is amazing, even more so when you consider when it was tooled 🤩

            You're certainly right about the detail - it looks superb.

              Made a start on the cockpit . Thankfully there are plenty of good colour pictures online of the pit and seat so its just a case of very fiddly , careful painting now . Ive done the seat and cockpit tub and sidewalls , they will now be getting a wash and some careful shading on the seat belts. Ive yet to start the instrument panel but this will be the same procedure - very careful painting.

                  That level of detail back in 1983, that's impressive.

                      Back from a little holiday now so got a little more done today. The ejector seat and cockpit tub parts have all had a wash to bring out the detail and the instrument panel has had some very careful painting . As I mentioned before there is loads of excellent reference on the net especially the aircraft specific www. f-106deltadart . com .

                        Panels look very good Tony. That F106 site is very interesting.
