  Hello!  This is my Monogram F-106 Delta Dart, built and finished completely OOB.

  My photo research revealed that these jets were kept pretty clean compared to other types, so I kept the weathering to a minimum - just some slight silver drybrushing around the nose and cockpit area, and some subtle pre-shading around the aft fuselage area and wings.

  After all these years this is still a pretty good kit, although some of the engineering and breakdown of parts provided a great exercise in patience and self-discipline.  I am referring to the seams of the wings and the vertical stabilizer, and how instead of being on a leading or trailing edge, they were on one side of the wing/rudder, making it VERY difficult to clean the seam without sanding away all that wonderful raised surface detail.  I ended up using masking tape to protect the adjacent areas, filling the gaps (and they were some BIG gaps!) with Squadron putty and then sanding the area flush.  I still lost some surface detail, but I was able to save most of it. 

  With a little patience and a steady hand, one could make a really nice display piece out of this kit.  Thanks for checking out my work!

  CHEERS!

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
