They simply painted the bright orange/red on the tail and wingtips over the last markings the airplanes carried in active service. There are many photos here of the drones: http://www.f-106deltadart.com/drones.htm

I don't yet know which ship I'll build from these, but they're all rather neat looking. We took the guided tour through the AMARC storage facility in Arizona in the spring of 1988 and saw almost the whole F-106 fleet in mothballs.

Thanks for the continued interest!

Genie nukes?

Yes, I decided to load the "live" Genie into the weapons bay. I asked my buddy whether he was ever around a fully operational Genie and he said that they loaded one in his airplane a few times. LOTS of security around the airplane when the active nuke was loaded by the ordnance crew!

Finally I got a chance to start assembling the weapons bay area tonight along with the landing gear and doors. Once the glue on the gear sets completely it'll be ready for final assembly.

The Dart is up on its gear with the external tanks and speedbrakes installed. About all that remains is to install the radome, canopy, and a few small details. I've run out of space on the workbench so I took this picture in the "satellite" room! :-blah
