Here is a very nice sheet for the F-102 Delta Dagger. Your only choice is the Monogram/Revell/Promodeler kit. Many of you may not know that there are two different wings that were used on the F-102A. The original ones and the Case XX wings. These later Case XX wings were used starting with serial number  56-1317 (often shown on the tail as 61317) and not retrofitted to earlier aircraft. The main difference in these wings is the shape of the tip.

First up is a nice Deuce from the 64 FIS as based in Payne Field, WA in 1961. The instructions note that this has the Case XX wing, which is correct.

The other is from the 460 FIS based at Portland OR in 1958-66. It doesn't state anything about wings, but judging from the serial, it also had the Case XX wing. The wing tip colors are provided as decals (though it would be easy enough to paint) and the wing fences will have to be painted on.

There are enough common markings for one aircraft.
