Heh, heh, you're right Stuart. But nearing the end of this nostalgic build, I find that I could do without that much nostalgia on my next model. :wink: :giggles:

Infidel! :ballbat: There is no such thing as too much Monogram nostalgia! :wink:

Yeah I know what you mean - sometimes you can have TOO much nostalgia!

An actual Idaho Air Guard F-102 in "silver dope":

Your build looks great! I've got the same decals and am planning on doing one of these aircraft as well. My "long-term" plan is to build each of the aircraft from the Idaho Air Guard. I've got the F-89, F-94B, F-102, F-4G, A-10, and C-130. Just need to get my hands on the RF-4C, an F-51, and a F-86.

As for your F-102, it used to sit on stilts next to I-84 in front of the airport, it now resides on the Guard side of the Boise airport in a little park, but not accessible by the public.

Thank you sir! I am happy to hear that from an Idaho man. :grin: And thanks for the info regarding this bird; too bad it can't still be enjoyed. :sad:
