F-102A 525th FIS - Bitburg Airbase

a very boring out of box start... 

 

the assembled cockpit 

I don't like the position and formation lights in the kit ...  

...I drilled them out ...  

...to get a hole that can be filled with Bondic. 

the paint has arrived... 

the engravings were renewed with the razor saw 

after the primer, the first step was to paint the yellow window frames. 

the masking for the colorful stripes. The orange tape is just for the right distance. 

a thin layer in white... 

..and the result 

the tips and wing fences are painted in very nice looking dayglow-orange 

 

masking the fin... 

..and the result. 

 

I filled the lights with the Revell UV-glue and painted it with Tamiya clear colors.
