SEA and Sharkmouth??? Oh man.
I saw one of these fling up in North Dakota back in the early 80s. Guess it was NDANG out of Fargo. That Burner would rattle your fillings loose.

I don't know the story behind the scheme but it looks like it was gussied up to emulate an F-4 Phantom...
(at least, that is where I plan to source the decals)

I believe you are referring to it's big brother the F-106 Bob . Really a window rattler .

Might be right Chris, I think it was stationed out of Minot. The ANG group down in Fargo were in F4s at that time.
Saul they used the F102 early on in SEA but found it was not suited for the Air to Air or Ground roles that were needed.
They did use the aircraft over Vietnam but I am referring to this particular aircraft in a scheme unlike its stable mates in the photo. The camouflage does match those sent to SEA.

I was thinking that also. I don't do much in 1/72 but hey at least we have the 1/48 Encore kit that has all that nice resin. :yipee
I'm likin' it. May pick up on just to have another Century Series sitting around.

Hmmm, now you have me wondering Bob . I know that they were retired from the USAF quite early due to some structural problems.
I did not realize that they were passed down to the guards. ( probably with four leaf clovers )
Anyhow, the F-102's used the same engine as the F-100's
The F-106's used the same engine as the F-105 . That will loosen your fillings right out of your mouth.
At any rate, I always found the F-102's to be more esthetically pleasing than the F-106 and unlike Saul, I preferred them in the colorful ADC paint jobs .

Christian, what the woman wears matters not, as long as she has a smile (or in my case, a sharkmouth).

Like the A7s, the guard got them and turn them into top notch weapon platform.
Pretty sure it was the F106 now.
First, I need them to start the Pliosaur Series with the PACV as a first release!
This is the Pliosaur catching a Plesiosaur.
