1/48 Revell F-102 Delta Dagger

Post by Medicman71 »

Since I'm waiting on paints, decided to get the next one out. This is the Revell F-102 Delta Dagger that was re-released not long ago. Started rescribing already.

I test fitted the wings and fuselage together just to see if there was any pitfalls coming up. Shockingly it looks like everything is going to fit great! Even the intakes look to be a good fit! :wow:

Looking good! I built the older one for a friend who had worked on that plane in his career. It fit pretty good back then, but I'm glad to see that this is improved. Looking forward to seeing more.

It looks like its going to fit together well with out a entire tube of putty and a boat load of cursing. Better re check the box to make sure it's really a Revell kit :giggles:

I know it's hard to see but there's a lot of panels with rivets on the bottom of the wing. Why? I mean who's going to see all that?

So they can say how detailed it is! If it is fitting this well at this point, watch out for the fiddle-bits! They will get you.
