Looks great Tony. As with most colours the ADC Grey is a real mystery to match.
Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

Ive always used vallejo 71-046 it seems to look right to me .
Finally got round to giving this a bit more paint. The first coat of ADC grey was ok but looked a bit featureless and monotone so I mixed in a good few drops of a dark grey to darken it a touch then went over all the panel lines to accent them a bit. The large bare areas on the big wings were also given a bit of mottling. Next up is to mask off and spray the black nose then I can look at giving it a coat of Klear which will seal the paint and give me a nice gloss base for the decals .

Nose masked and painted , its now had a coat of klear to seal everything . Next up is to mask and spray the yellow band on the tail then I’m going to decal it before I tackle the missile bays and undercarriage.
Looking very nice indeed Tony. The post-shading on the panel lines has been very effective. That nose area wouldn't have been easy to mask, but it's turned out exceptionally well. Look forward to seeing the decals on
Masked up the tail and given it a coat of white primer then two coats of golden yellow. The scheme i’m doing has the yellow tail and a yellow diagonal stripe on the forward fuselage , but only the stripe is supplied on the decals so the tail had to be colour matched . This will now be getting a coat of Klear then its decal time .
A nice bright scheme, Tony. Marmite Yellow some might say 
Mmm, Marmite!
Clearly a man of good taste.

Looking very good Tony, nice work

Geoff.
I've gotta admit, I've never been able to get marmite to spray that well, it always ends up lumpy for some reason.
A cracking build so far, good decision on the weapons bay, detail like this needs to be shown off.

Marmite...... Ambrosia!..... Food of the gods!
Looking good

....aaaarrrrrg, thought the Marmite wars were settled....
Never!
There are 2 kinds of people in this world..... Those that like marmite and those that are wrong
They will have to pry this jar of marmite from my cold dying hand

Finally got the decals on , just a few more to add to the missile bay doors . Theyre just settling down now , theyll be getting a sealing coat , not sure if im going to go matt or semi gloss yet .
Sorry I missed most of the building Tony, but I’ve just caught up now. Cracking work, looking forward to seeing more updates.
Looking colourful and very smart Tony. I reckon a semi-gloss finish will make it pop.
This has been lurking in the background for a while now but its slowly progressing.The airframe has had a coat of satin and will probably get another one as the decals are still showing a bit shiny . The missile bay has now had all the bits added ( apart from the missiles obviously ) and is now ready for a bit of detail to be picked out in different colours and a final wash to highlight all this lovely detail .
The detail certainly is good. A bit of detail painting and a wash will really make it pop.
That weapons bay is very detailed Tony, will look the business after a wash
Looking very nice indeed Tony.
