This next new sheet from Starfighter decals is for the F-102 Delta Dagger in Air National Guard service. The only extant kit is the old Otaki version that has been reissued by Revell. Not exactly one that is readily found, but also not one that is impossible to find. This sheet offers markings for three aircraft. All of them are in overall ADC Grey FS 16473. The sheet provides full markings and intake walk areas for all three options.

First up is probably one of the nicest schemes, that of the 118th FIS based at the Greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvannia Airport in 1975.

The next is from the 134th FIS at Burlington, Vermont in 1967.

The third scheme is the 157 FIS at McEntire ANGB in South Carolina during 1969.

This particular sheet is ALPs printed so will require care in handling and in cutting out the various markings. There are enough data markings  and insignia to do both aircraft. Instructions are in full color and provide FS 595 references as well as markings placement information.

Those of us who are fans of 1/144 should be glad that Starfighter Decals has taken the time and trouble to provide us with optional markings and they don't charge a fortune for them either. Well worth the cost and I highly recommend visiting them to see what else they offer.

Thanks to www.starfighter-decals.com for the review sample.
