Superscale is continuing to bring out some sheets for the recently reissued F-106A Delta Dart. This somewhat older kit by Revell Monogram is one that was highly sought when it went out of production back about ten years ago and has pretty well gone flying off the shelves after its re-introduction. While not state of the art in terms of engraved panel lines and 'snap tite'-like construction, it is still very nicely detailed and makes into a most impressive (and large) model.

This particular set of markings is from the 456 FIS in the late 1960s when the F-106 was the mainstay of the Air Defense Command. As with almost all F-106s, it is painted in overall FS 16473 ADC Grey. Though not specifically mentioned, it appears that this aircraft wore the older canopy with the frame down the center of it.
