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.

It
was a great build and a challenge. All you need for this construction is
patience and a lot of free time!
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
