Hasegawa 1/72 F-106A

So after a 30 year rest this one is ready for the display case. I did indeed start it 30 years ago, but as I was taking it over to a friend's house to show it to him I dropped it and chpped the top rear corner off of the fin and got depressed. I guess sometimes it just takes awhile to get the mojo back. Had to source a few parts from the 6 other Hasegawa 106's I had collected over the years but not many. It's been sitting in its kit box bottom waiting for me all that time.

I'll never do an open missile bay on one of these again, what a pain! The last two pictures are of my Convair delta connection to date. You might wonder about the Bear facing backwards. Yeah, a goof, I was going to fix it but then I thought "why not dedicate this one to John (Keavdog) and Carlos (stikpusher)" who headed out from California recently as well.

What stage it was in all those years, except the current repair to the fin in dark resin:

There will be no TF-102. Too ugly and OMG those vortex generators all over the canopy! Yikes!
I have the Trumpeter F-106B on order. Now there's an idea, a 106 in TBird livery...an A, I think.
