A beauty indeed. If you don’t mind me asking, what is the dimension of the 1/48 scale Delta Dart? I’m debating whether to get in 1/72 or 1/48 scale. Looking to do one based out of Griffiss AFB from my area.

Another beautiful pair of Deltas CL! I like the different posings that you did with these two, open and closed.

The Century Series fighters were all large aircraft, with the F-100 and F-104 being at the smaller end of the spectrum, yet neither as compact as a MiG-21, and the F-101, F-102, F-105, & F-106 all being quite large. Lots of engine, weapons, radars, and avionics packed into those.

Beautiful work, CherryLock!
Did you have any issues mating the fuselage halves particularly at the tail?

if you close the speedbrake you have work and filling.
the general join on the sides are ok, littlebit of filler and grinding, normal not a problem, and rescriping the lines
