I’m building 2 Revellograms F-106A’s and I remember a few years back there was a 20MM cannon conversion kit for the missile bay, now I can’t seem to remember who makes it or if they are still in business.
does anyone out there know if the kit is still avalible? or if they know where or whom to contact to purchase one
What no one knows any thing about F-106 Aftermarket Parts
Hey Cuda,
That gatling gun mod was only temporary in a test trial known as “Project Sharp Shooter” and was never implemented.
The only aftermarket parts I know about for the “Six” is a conversion kit by Falcon Industries to make a “B” 2-seater. Did that one myself and it looks great.
Your best bet is to arm yourself with some good reference photos and start cutting.

Aircraft 59-135 was the test bed or the gun carrying F-106A. The aircraft had a gun purge scoop just forward of the IFR receptacle, The gun fairing looked just like the one on the F-111F. You can build it doors closed and all you have to do is build the scoop and fairing.
Aircraft 58-0782 was also a test bed. Here is a link to a photo showing the gun placement: http://www.f-106deltadart.com/159fis/wally-2.jpg
This aircraft was eventually converted to a drone and shot down in 1993.
And more photos of 58-0795 which was the prototype aircraft for this mod at: http://www.convairf-106deltadart.com/580795Page.html

The New Jersey NG squadron had a bunch of these aircraft that were converted. Only those F-106’s
that had gone through the cockpit, canopy, and refueling updates got guns.
It was the 119th FIS.
Awhile back I seen someone did a resin conversion for the 6er (but the kit was out of production then too) and I had their email addy but since then I’ve moved from Missouri to here in Maryland and went through 2 computers and lost just about all of my info,
I’m pretty sure I have that resin gun, so it does exist. I don’t remember who made it, but I will try to find it in the next few days.

Thanks I’ll be kepping an eye out for the info
Cuda,
I bought the 1:48 Falcon vacuform canopy set, but only so
that I could get a vacuform canopy for my F-16 project.
It comes with canopies for other jets. If you want the
F-106A canopy, it’s all yours! Just send me a PM.
The Revellogram kit has both bubble (Gun toters or late) & framed canopies (Missile & early) for the 6er and THANK YOU for the offer, but I’m after the 20MM cannon conversion for the 6er that is installed in the aft missile bay and I’ve seen the resin gun conversion but now I can’t find the folks who made the conversion kit
