Thanks Stik! I already was able to wipe away that fingerprint. It actually wasn’t embedded in the paint, as I initially feared, but seemed to be more residue from my weathering session and was not sealed on.
Thanks Drew! I have no recollection of that series, maybe I’ll look it up.
Aha!
George’s bird! Sokay wid me. Luved da guy ! I just don’t about politics worry ! I like what you’ve done with her.
Aggieman, Yup !
I love the century series and Your F-102 is a super tribute to that old bird. I got a chance to sit in one thanks to a Sgt Maj. who lived across the street from me way back when that bird was new. I will never forget that experience and his repeated three word, “don’t touch anything”. By the way G. W. also flew the F-106, the other delta winged century series fighter. Again, very nice job. And yes I’m one who faithfulyl watched the Steve Canyon TV series as well as Sky King, and don’t forget the Air Power series (and Sea Power if your into water craft). That was some great TV for us airplane lovers. JAG was an ok series more recently. The first time I saw the abreviated title on the door of a military lawyer’s office door I almost fell over laughing. Think about it JAG OFFicer!!!
Thank you for your kind words! To have been allowed to sit in a -102 when new must have been quite an experience. While not quite the same, I was able to get seated in an old F-84 in Harlingen Texas in the mid-70s at an air show by what,was then known as the Confederate Air Force. But that -84 was completely open to public viewing, and nothing in that cockpit still functioned.
Nice work on GW’s ride. I have an Avenger in his father’s markings that I need to get to someday. Thanks for Sharing.
Thanks lawdog! Is that an Accurate Miniatures kit? I think I might have the same release, or possibly the Flight 19 release.
Aggieman!
Did you ever go into a B-25 at a Confederate Air Force Air Show? If so you may have gone through my bird. I had to sell her back in the mid 80s . Aah, what memories. But everything in that office did work!
I don’t believe so. I did get to go through Fifi (the B-29) in '75-'76, and more recently, I toured the local wing’s B-17. I’ve told my wife that the top of my bucket list is a ride in one of these warbirds. I had an opportunity to bid on a seat aboard a B-25 that was slated to do the fly-by at A&M’s Kyle Field prior to a ball game, but I didn’t bid high enough (I later learned that the winning bid for the nose position, which was the one I bid on, went for 5K - that’s too steep for me). That’s cool that you owned an actual warbird.
I have a idea for two Duces, a TF-102 and the 102 I saw on the Twilight Zone. It was from the 48th F.I.S.
