F-102A Delta Dagger Model: How To Build Encore's F-102A Delta Dagger (A Glenn Hoover Model Build Instruction Series - Grayscale Interior)

This book contains detailed instructions on building the F-102A 1/48 scale model aircraft from Encore. This kit is based on Revell's F-102A except some resin parts and photo-etch were added along with a set of color instructions. The photo etch is a partial Eduard set. I wrote my book to include instructions for the basic kit using Revell's instruction. To give the option to just use the kit part, I added separate steps for the resin and PE parts. I recommend comparing the resin parts with corresponding kit parts to see if you would rather stick with the kit part. I will list both Encore and Revell paint recommendations in each step. This book provides a little history of the Delta Dagger, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 516 steps and 77 plus figures over 98 pages that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each step instruction shows the source (i.e., either Encore or Revell) along with a block to mark that you completed the step. The major instruction sequence for this model is 1. Engine 2. Fuselage 3. Cockpit 4. Nose Gear Wheel Well 5. Seat & Controls 6. Main Gear Wheel Well 7. Flaps 8. Engine Intakes 9. Wing/Fuselage Assembly 10. Nose Cone 11. Canopy 12. Pilot 13. Bottom Antennas 14. Paint & Decals 15. Speed Brakes 16. Tail Hook 17. Nose Gear & Door 18. Main Gear & Doors 19. Fuel Tanks 20. Weapons Bay21. Nose I provide an index of the individual sprue parts that show where in the book the part is mentioned. This index was a great way to make sure that no pieces were overlooked. Finally, there are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I hope you find this book useful.
