Here are some pictures of my F-102A Delta Dagger in Hellenic Air Force duty. I like building aircraft in 1/48 scale of H.A.F and this model is for my personal collection. It is the old Monogram kit with very nicely detailed components. The first job I did was to re-scribe all the panel lines. I included many resin items such as a cockpit (Black box) and scratch-building for radar antenna and avionic bays. Rudder and ailerons was cut and repositioned.
I painted the model in SEA camo, with Model Master
colors: (medium Green,
dark Green, dark Tan and light Grey) and
finished it with extensive weathering. Aluminum and Titanium colors was
used to paint the fuselage near the exhaust.
The AIM-4
Falcon missile came from Hasagawa's
weapons set.
Decals
set was from Icarus Decals, representing an F-102A in H.A.F service during
1978.

This model was the winner of 1/48 scale modern aircraft category and awarded as the best Hellenic Model in 24th Scale Model Show, IPMS Hellas in 2005. I hope you enjoy my model.
Happy modeling! Giannis Click on images below to see larger images
