The second new F-102A sheet from Superscale covers a pair of ADC Grey (FS 16473) Delta Daggers. Like the previous sheet, this is for Case XX wing aircraft as provided in the Encore kit. The sheet contains sufficient data markings and insignia to build one of the two options. Of course, you can always use the kit decals for the second option's data requirements as the kit markings are very nicely done.

Anyway, the first option is for a 57 FIS plane from 1972 as participated in that year's William Tell competition. This aircraft does not have the IR seeker on the nose but does have the rotating beacon as used by some F-102s. The wing tips and fin will need to be painted FS 12197 as this was required of all planes that flew over snow during part of their annual operations.

The second aircraft is an early F-102A from the 325th FIS as based at Truax AB in Wisconsin during 1963. It has what look like command stripes on the nose.

The instructions include a superb data placement guide so you can get the myriad of stencils properly located.  Cartograf is now Superscale's default printer and the sheet is superbly done.  Those wanting to do both options can use kit decals for the common bits.
