1/48 Trumper F-106A

F-104nut · Jul 31, 2021

While working on the Tamiya F-4B i decided to srart messing with the Trumpeter Dart. I have both of the Fundekals decals . Not sure on markings yet. I hae a spare Balck Box Ejection seat i am using. I added some plastic to the back og the cockpit to hlp alighn the ejection seat once installed. I was not impressed with the control stick or throttle . So i replaced them with spares from the monogram kits i had. I spraey the mr back black on the cockpit then mixed mine own cockpit from tamiya to match pics of the interior greay used at the time by Conviar .

Finally a update on the Convair Dart. I ended up reapinting the cockpit as i had some issues i didnt like. I used the 3/4 of the instrument decals on thr IP .The hot sections was painted MRP Metal paints. I modified the nose gear section to install the nose strut last as the kit wants it in stalled while you build the rest of the model.

spent the last few days glue the airframe together. The kit fits really great and the shape is pretty dead on . I changed my mind on markings and will be going for the William Tell scheme . Got the Royal Resin wheel cleaned up and test fitted
