I've been commissioned to build another 1/48 F-106, this time to be displayed "in flight". This will be in the same colors as the one I built for my friend, 49th FIS, but as aircraft 59-0083. This will be so very simple since there is virtually no work to do!. I did find that closing the landing gear doors is something of a chore as they are not designed to be closed as molded. Nothing that the razor saw, Dremel tool, and some glue can't handle.

The receptacle for the desk stand is installed into the access panel for the Ram Air Turbine between the weapons bay and main gear doors, right in the most sturdy part of the fuselage. I haven't built an in-flight model since I was a small boy, and painting the pilot will be tasking my skills, too!!!
