Thanks Medic! Much appreciated! I don't know the answer; I would expect that it is. Have you checked for the kit on Scalemates? Prolly have some info on it there. :grin:

Yes, but you’ll have to check which issue it is. Monogram release both the Case X (early production) and Case XX (later production) wings on the kits. The basic difference is the shape of the wingtips and elevons.

I was asking cause I built the recent Revell one and it wasn't bad at all to build.

That turned out great Gary! Really like the way the silver dope turned out. I'm thinking I may do mine in ADC Grey, still not 100% decided yet.

Beautiful job Gary! That brings back memories. I built one of these as a commission build for a guy who was the Senior Project Manager for this F-102 program. I didn't experience that much issue with filling and sanding myself, but then again, I never knew about any of that going into that.

Magnificent job once again!

Thank you very much! I like the silver finish too, but ADC would be more typical wouldn't it? :grin:
