1/72 US F-106B Delta Dart
Trumpeter 1/72 US F-106B Delta Dart is a plastic kit of the two-seat version of the American Convair interceptor. It contains over 130 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was developed from the earlier F-102 Delta Dagger and from the late 1950s formed the backbone of US air defence. The tailless delta reached twice the speed of sound and carried its guided missiles in an internal weapons bay under the fuselage. The tandem two-seat F-106B was used for training while retaining full combat capability; with Air National Guard units the type flew until the late 1980s.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/72 scale has over 130 parts on nine sprues and clear parts for the canopy. The fuselage and wings feature finely engraved panel lines. The finished model is 299.5 mm long.
The instructions show three marking options: F-106B 57-2514 of the 119th FIS, New Jersey Air National Guard, 57-2535 of the 194th FIS, California ANG, and a USAF aircraft coded FE-900. The clean delta-wing lines and slender fuselage make the model an elegant addition to a collection of Cold War interceptors. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
