CF-106 is finished....finally !

[Joeisamonkey]

Yo,

I wrote down in my model book (the book that I write down all my what if ideas at work) and I wanted to do one with a 20mm cannon pod strapped to the centerline. I was thinking SEA camo. But Canadian or Brit would look nice too.  But think about the Cannon... it would be niiiiiiiice.

Take care,

JoeW

Nice to hear from you Joe!!

Like the idea of the F-106.
A friend spotted one at telford, bought it, and started making it there and then. terrific.  

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Awesome!

That'll be just sweet when finished!

 

As will the model

For a second, I wondered "what scale" but then I saw the good ol' beer glass for reference, thanks.

Hey, what's a few years, a move, about 200 other models started between friends ?

Anyway, this time for real. After losing this thing, then finding it, then losing the canopy, then losing the landing gear, then finding all the parts......I've decided to make her a 'flyer'. Just glued the gear doors shut, found a pilot, and am about to start painting her.

Damn, Canadian pilots are nuts.  That's one helluva way to pilot an F-106.  So, you gonna model the reigns, or just make us imagine them from where he's sitting?

Ride 'em cowboy!

[Captain Canada]

Hahaha....good one, Comrade ! It must be the water !



Gonna do a little more detail on the pilot and then pop him in there, and try and get some greay and black slapped on......

[Sisko]

It looks good!

I know what it is like to have heaps of unfinished kits laying around, some of my builds this year will have skipped many years.

[Captain Canada]

Thanks, Sisko ! That's exactly why I'm bashing this one up right now....clear up the oldies, the myriad of half-builts is driving me nuts !

Here's the third update for tonite-added the grey




And painted the wee flag on buddies arm

[retro_seventies]

Has it really been 3 years?  Good Lord...

Good looking plane Todd - and as i'm reliably informed, everything looks good with maple leafs, right?

[kitnut617]

I've said it before, it's strange when you slap a camo on certain aircraft it changes the whole look to it, I was having problems identifying it Todd.  Very nice BTW 

PS:  do I see next to it a glass of ------- WATER   

[ChernayaAkula]

Very nice!

[Sauragnmon]

Water, what are you doing drinking American Beer again, cap!?!?

You know, the gray/green really looks kinda cool on the bird.  Nice painting on the flag on his arm.

The cowboy is slowly moving closer to his saddle - he's gotta be from Alberta if he thinks he's going to ride a plane like that.  Too much beer, and time at the Stampede, now he thinks he's gonna ride himself a plane.
