First of two new sheets for the F-106 includes a nice pair in basic blue. Just about all F-106s were in FS 16473 ADC Grey, which makes them really easy to paint. Your only kit choice is the nice, but somewhat difficult to build Monogram kit. It has recently been reissued so finding one won't mean dealing with those nasty auction folks and their inflated prices...... :o)

The top aircraft is from the 539 FIS and was photographed with smaller F-102 drop tanks.

The other is from the 318 FIS, one of the more colorful units and these are their last markings before transitioning over to the F-15A Eagle.

Both of these planes had the early canopy with the center frame line.

Common markings for one aircraft are include, and some of those had to be put on a second smaller sheet. Fortunately, the Revell decals are not bad so use them for the second option if you must.
