Hello mates, thank You for your nice comments. I'm really happy You appreciate my job. And I'll be happy to see other f-102 here on Arc so I hope my build may be of inspiration or may help while building yours. I still have a pair on my bench partially built but this one really proved myself and I need a break. I have also started an Hasegawa F-4d some time ago. Let's see... Again thank You and happy moodeling! Giovanni

Hello mates, after a pretty long silence here's my update! Since all the subassemblies were ready I started to add them to the airframe. I started from the optical sight that proved to be impossible to be placed unless the use of a pin. So after same tests I drilled a little hole at the top of the windshield frame and another one on the sight and using a copper wire and cyano glue I got the desired joint. At this point I decided to go on with the undercarriage starting from the front one. No surprises here it went straightforwar

Hello Chris, At the moment it's sold out no copies remaining but I'm considering to produce a new batch. I have to produce new moulds first since some are no longer ok. But first I'd like to finish this model. Giovanni

Hello again! and here's the situation tonight with all the paneling done (ok, I'll have to use some more oil here and there and fix something but I consider it almost done). Next stage will be reproducing some smoking effects and weathering (very light, the airplane was well maintained and pristine to attend at the WT competition). Hope to conclude all soon. Stay in touch Giovanni
