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

[yak face]

Got the cockpit unmasked today and looked at getting the missiles sorted . The F106 usually carried four falcons , two AIM 4 F radar homing and two AIM 4 G infra red heat seeking . The kit missiles are all identical so I had to sand off the end of two ,paint dark blue and add a blob of Kristal Kleer to simulate the clear nose of the IR version .
Theyre all painted decalled and fitted now . Next step is fitting the missile bay doors .

That's looking great Tony.

Bay doors now on and the drop tanks fitted . The nav light on top of the fuselage is supplied as a clear part and the kit instructions dont mention any colour , however looking at many photos it is red so out came the nail art jewels and one was fitted in place . Last jobs now are fitting the canopy and the pitot on the nose . The kit supplied a red and white stripe decal to be wrapped around the pitot in a spiral but it would have been a nightmare to get right so I just painted it .
