Starting on April 28, 1972 the Massachusetts ANG 101st FIS received 26 Convair F-106 Delta Darts. Originally “57-2494” c/n 8-24-77, the 100th F-106 produced was assigned to the 95th FIS in August 1959. On June 5, 1972 “57-2494” was received by the 101st FIS where it flew until it was retired to AMARC on December 29, 1987 and stored as FN163. It was later converted to a QF-106 target drone that was shot down by a Stinger missile on August 27, 1996.
Designed as a refinement of the F102, the F106 was first flown on December 26th, 1956. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-106 Delta Dart is a fast-looking model, skillfully designed using modern manufacturing techniques with the inclusion of many fine features. The hinged, sharply-angled canopy opens to reveal pad-printed front and side instrument panels. The landing gear and gear doors are constructed as subassemblies allowing quick and easy configuration for ground or in-flight display. The solid metal wing is masterfully recreated with downturned leading edges and two removable streamlined supersonic fuel tanks. The weapons bay is constructed as a one-piece subassembly, with four Falcon missiles featuring finely detailed trapeze mounts.
