Hasegawa 1/72 F-102A

Did this for a Weekend GB on FSM, there are still three of us who can still post there and two of us plus another I will be posting by proxy for are in this. I was supposed to be done in 48 hours elapsed time but by the time the photos were done it took 80 hours elapsed time. Guess I should have picked a subject with fewer stencils and matt paint that doesn't take 12 hours to dry! First time I've done a weekend GB.

I remember seeing the ND ANG flying them back in the 80s. Those burners could charge the air man, crazy power. Nice job John!

She needs to smile more for the camera! I had an itch on a Meng F-102...

Looks more like an Angry Bird, Saul, than a smiley one! Thanks, Bob.

Nicely done John. Nice to see it finished.

Any word on when FSM will be back up and running?

I trained on the 103/106 at the BlackShak at Lowry AFB back when men were men and sheep were nervous.

I Was telling someone about that the other day. I'd like to go back to Denver just to see the old SAC shack. Blackshak was torn down.

I do have her double seater around here.

You have a tub 102? I'd like to see it as kit or built. Thanks for the nice comment.

Huh?

Fine Scale Modelers' forum is switching servers/platforms or whatever and is basically not functioning at the moment. Only a few others like John are able to still post.

Hate it when that happens. I hadn't looked there in years but hate to see another forum go.

I was back there in the late 80's early 90's. Bldg 349 was condo's and the rest was low cost housing and vast waste lands.

Thanks, Martin. Quite the project, and for the same unit my model is marked for.
