This second new sheet from Superscale is also for the F-106A Delta Dart. As mentioned in the earlier review, the lone kit for this aircraft is the Revell-Monogram offering. While not a state of the art kit with engraved panel lines, this, as well as other older R-M kits that were sold under the Monogram label, is a very nicely detailed model. Some care is required during construction, but the end result is an outstanding and large model of what was America's premier interceptor.

The aircraft in this particular sheet is assigned to the ADWC (Air Defense Weapons Center) that was based at Tyndall AFB in Florida. Their purpose was to prepare and test ADC's readiness through various programs, including live weapons fire at drones. They were the hosts for the 'William Tell' meets. With the demise of the ADC into ADTAC, the weapons center proper disbanded, though very similar programs continue to be held for not only the USAF but for the Navy/Marines as well.
