Interesting.  Just when I've purchased a vacuform conversion!  Bugger!   :banghead:

Excellent news, I've been wanting an up-to-date tool F-106A for a long time. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

As predicted Meng had the sprues for their upcoming F-106 at Telford. Sadly I managed to forget the batteries of my camera needed recharging  :banghead: so couldn't take any pics, but it looks just as good as their F-102. The sprues seem a tad odd as it looks as if they supply some of the extra stuff for the 2 seat B version in the A kit, but the fuselage isn't moulded with a break at the nose joint, so the B version must have a whole new fuselage moulding.

At long last the Six fans will have something else to worship other than the rather ancient Hasegawa kit, and the Meng version looks very 'worshipable'.  :thumbsup:

With Trumpeter doing one as well, this is probably the only chance you'll ever have to compare an F-106 with a bus...

You know, you're right.  Getting over the initial  :wub:  I'm now thinking  :o at the parts count.  I might go for the Trumpeter kit if it's simpler, but I've been bitten them in the past.

I was more interested in the MTANG markings.  Still have a set of Microscale ones waiting for me to do my Hasagawa kit.

Think that will be a long wait and will probably do a duel build when I get the new on.

There's a new 1:72 Gina in the pipeline for September, unfortunately with the same steep prices as the initial one:

A pity about the price, I would love to build a small fleet of them.

Yup, the Gina has potential.

And there are good news: this one will provide decals for an Italian, a German and a Portuguese machine! (check the small sublines  ;))

And there's official proof, too:

Yup, gave it a closer look just a few minutes ago on scalemates. :thumbsup:
The decals were well chosen but too bad i already have a bunch of those and the same kit in the previous boxing so i'll probably only buy this if i really get the urge to spend money... :rolleyes:
